Description: Evening Primrose Oenothera biennisYou are buying a packet of seeds as pictured. I don't know how many because they are too small. There are hundreds in the baggie.I will mail these regular mail in order to keep cost down. Year before last, this was the little rosette that is described. Nothing much to look at but it just got bigger and bigger around.Then, last spring, it started to grow, and grow and grow. It ended up being 5 feet tall and about the same around. It was HUGE and covered with the most lovely yellow flowers from bottom to top. The pictures were taken at different stages of growth.I have dozens of these all over the garden and have been killing them left and right.If you want to buy a plant or two, contact me and I will list them.
