XL Mylar Packet - Common Evening Primrose Seeds

Gold Vault Mylar Zip Packet

  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.

  Direct sow in early spring, pressing lightly into the surface of the soil since this seed needs light to germinate. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination, which should occur within 10-30 days. When the seedlings can safely be handled, thin or transplant for wider spacing. For an early start, start the seed indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost and transplant outdoors.
