It has become a well-known name largely due to the precious skin-rejuvenating and hormone-balancing oil extracted from its seeds.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvening primrose is thought to have originated in Central America, spreading to North and South America where Native Americans used the whole plant for a range of ailments from skin complaints to water-retention. It was introduced to Europe at the beginning of the 17\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003ecentury and is now naturalised in Europe and Asia. All parts of the plant are edible, making it a popular plant for foragers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClassified as a biennial, evening primrose is a versatile species that is able to survive in a diverse range of challenging environments, from desert regions to riverbeds, seashores and mountains. In an English garden it will do best in full sunshine, but will most likely survive wherever you choose to grow it. The late opening of its flowers provide an important source of nectar to moths and other night-time pollinators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the short-lived flowers die a pod forms containing their gift of tiny fatty acid packed seeds. Each successive night another whorl of flowers opens gradually progressing skywards towards the tip of the tall stem.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Earthsong Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51275409949013,"sku":null,"price":2.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0906\/4677\/4101\/files\/EveningPrimrose.jpg?v=1755126779","url":"https:\/\/www.wildfungarium.com\/products\/evening-primrose-seed-packet","provider":"Wild Fungarium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
