Evening primroses are annual, biennial or perennial rhizomatous plants, reaching a height of 30 to 120 cm. The stems of donkeys are stiffly pubescent, straight or creeping. The alternate leaves can be simple, serrated, entire, pinnately dissected, or lobed. White, yellow, pink, purple, blue or red flowers 7-8 cm in diameter, usually very fragrant, located in the axils of the leaves singly, in a bunch or form a long brush.

Each flower blooms at sunset and only for one day, after which it fades. In rainy or cloudy weather, the flowers remain open all day, and in sunny weather they close by noon, but bees, flies and other insects manage to pollinate them before lunch. Flowering evening primrose lasts from June to September.

The fruit of the aspen is a box in which up to 3000 seeds ripen.

Planting evening primrose

It is better to grow evening primrose in the sun, although it also tolerates slight shading.

The optimal soil for evening primrose is light sandy soil with a pH of 5.5-7.0 pH.

If you do not want to grow seedlings, sow immediately in the flower garden. Evening primrose seeds are sown in moist soil before winter or in late April-early May, 2-3 pieces to a depth of 0.5-1 cm, maintaining a pattern of 30x30 cm. However you need to dig the area first to an average depth, with the introduction of two glasses of Nitrophoska and 3 kg of compost or humus for each m².

When seedlings emerge, they are swooped down in 10 cm increments. Depending on what species and variety you are growing, you may need to do a few more thinnings to ensure that each plant has a sufficient feeding area. In the first season, biennial and perennial primrose species form the root system and basal rosette of leaves, and flower stalks and flowers are formed for the next season.

The root system of some types of aspen, growing, gives rise, and in order for the roots of the plant not to spread, you need to dig into the soil around the flower garden to a depth of 25 cm limiters made of old slate or metal.

Donkeys degenerate quickly enough, therefore at the first sign of growth, the bushes should be dug up, divided and transplanted to another place. It is advisable to do this at least once every 3-4 years.
