Everwilde Farms - 1 lb Common Evening Primrose Garden Flower Seeds - Gold Vault Bulk Seed Packet

Sense a special evening glow from a planting of these luminous golden flowers. The noonday heat withers the blossoms of each day, but new blossoms then bloom each evening. This wildflower is easy to grow. Historians believe that this flower originally came from Mexico and Central America. It earned its common name by opening late in the day, though in some regions the blooms tend to open at other times. Botanist Nicolas-Charles Seringe gave this plant its species name "lamarckiana," in honor of noted French naturalist Jean-Baptiste Lamarck. Hugo de Vries, a Dutch expert in genetics, later made this plant a long term subject of investigation because of its seemingly unusual mutations. By using his experiments with this primrose as the evidence supporting his thesis, Dr. de Vries hoped to disprove Darwin's famous theory of natural selection over extended periods of time.
