Hooker's evening primrose is a native herbaceous biennial/perennial plant that grows 3-6 feet tall and 4 feet wide. It has large gray-green basal leaves and bright lemon-yellow flowers that open in the late afternoon and remain open until morning sunlight. It is well suited for natural plantings and dry gardens, providing habitat and forage for pollinators and seed-eating birds. It grows well in full sun to part shade with light to medium soils and a wide range of water needs, propagating easily from seed in fall through spring.
