The blooms open in the late afternoon and evening, which makes it a favourite with moths and a lovely thing to have near a back step or a seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSowing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow seeds on the surface or barely cover with 2 to 3mm of fine soil, as light helps them germinate. Germination takes 14 to 21 days and can be slow, so keep the bed lightly moist and be patient. Thin or space plants to about 30 to 40cm apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen to Sow - Australian Climate Zones\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCool \u0026amp; Mountain:\u003c\/strong\u003e September to December\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperate:\u003c\/strong\u003e September to November and March to April\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubtropical:\u003c\/strong\u003e March to September\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTropical:\u003c\/strong\u003e April to July (cooler, drier months)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArid \u0026amp; Semi-arid:\u003c\/strong\u003e March to April and August to October\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrow in full sun in free draining soil. This one is not fussy and will handle poor, sandy ground better than a rich bed, which tends to produce soft growth that flops. Water while the plants establish, after which they cope with dry spells well. Being a biennial it makes a leafy rosette in the first season and flowers in the second.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvest\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlowering runs through summer in the second season. Deadhead to keep the display going, or leave the pods to dry and brown on the stem if you want to collect seed. Plants self seed readily, so pull unwanted seedlings while they are small.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Happy Valley Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52666287653176,"sku":"ORHA042","price":3.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/5416\/2522\/files\/evening-primrose-seeds-organic-7395953.jpg?v=1785234727","url":"https:\/\/www.happyvalleyseeds.com.au\/products\/evening-primrose-seeds-organic","provider":"Happy Valley Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
