A fast-growing perennial the Showy Primrose produces probably the best flowers of all Evening Primroses. The large fragrant pink crepe-textured flowers with centres that open on summer evenings, fading the next day to soft pink.
This rhizomatous spreader can form large patches but can be excellent for roadside beautification or meadows when planted on masse.
A good choice for the rock garden or as border edging containers and pots.
Especially suited to hot, dry sites with well-drained soil. A hardy plant will self-sow readily.

Originates from North America.
