Additional Information: Pink Evening Primrose is a hardy perennial known for its fragrant, bowl-shaped flowers that open white and mature to pink, measuring 2–3 inches in diameter. The plant spreads via rhizomes and seeds, forming extensive colonies, which can be aggressive in some settings. It thrives in prairies, meadows, and open woodlands, providing a valuable nectar source for bees and butterflies. Due to its spreading nature, it's ideal for naturalized areas and wildflower gardens, but may require management to prevent unwanted spread in more formal garden settings.
