Evening primrose
How do I sow evening primrose seeds outdoors?
To sow evening primrose seeds outdoors, choose a sunny spot in your garden. Seeds can be sown in spring or autumn, but preferably in spring to ensure abundant flowering.
Prepare the soil by carefully weeding it and working it deeply to aerate it. Evening primrose seeds need well-drained soil rich in organic matter to grow well.
Sow the seeds in a greenhouse.
Sow the seeds about 30 cm apart and cover lightly with fine soil. Water gently to keep the soil moist, but avoid excess water as this can rot the seeds.
Be sure to protect the young plants from slug and snail attacks by placing crushed eggshells around the seedlings. Once the plants are well established, evening primroses are easy-care plants that require little watering. Enjoy their magnificent flowers all summer long!
