Description
Ephemeral, lemon-scented, large yellow flowers on a tall bloom spike top a hairy and often purple-tinged stem surrounded by feathery leaves. The flowers open visibly fast every evening and only last until the following noon. Accordingly, this interesting spectacle is the reason for the common name “evening primrose”.
