Plant of the Day
Thursday 8 December 2022
The biennial Oenothera biennis (evening primrose, fever plant, field primrose, four o'clock, night willowherb, cure-all) produces erect seed-heads as a winter feature once the fragrant, yellow flowers are over. This plant is native to North America but has naturalised in the UK. The flowers open in the evening and attract night-flying pollinators such as moths.
