HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow in early spring, pressing lightly into the surface of the soil since this seed needs light to germinate. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination, which should occur within 10-30 days. When the seedlings can safely be handled, thin or transplant for wider spacing. For an early start, start the seed indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost and transplant outdoors.
Growing: Water the seedlings until they become established. Mature plants can tolerate almost any type of soil, though they tend to wilt in extremely dry soil. This plant needs little care and grows easily; it can quickly spread and become invasive if not controlled, since it reseeds prolifically. To help prevent this, the plants can be cut back after blooming. This plant attracts birds and resists deer.
Harvesting: These short-lived blossoms do not make good cut flowers, and are best enjoyed in the wild.
Seed Saving: After flowering, slender ridged pods will develop; keep in mind that these pods provide food for small birds, and may need to be protected in order to preserve the seed. Eventually the pods will turn brown, split open, and drop their seed. Collect the pods as soon as they begin to turn brown, making sure the seed inside has ripened to a dark brown. After the pods have dried, remove the seed. Store the seed in a cool, dark place.

Beautiful packaging & quality seeds
The packaging for these seeds is so nice its beyond description. I wish everyone packaged their seeds like this. Quantity and quality were also fantastic. I'm going to be a lifelong customer!
Great site for seeds
1st time on site and used the email notification when seeds are back in stock. Three months later got a email of new stock and used link to buy seeds I’ve been waiting for. The price is close to half off of other sites for same seeds. I will be loyal to this company till the end.
Arrived in great condition
Excellent packaging. All arrived in good condition. Looking forward to planting in Spring.

Showy evening primorse seeds
I received the seeds today. They have been distributed, but at this time I have no idea about rate of germination. Time will tell.
A reliable addition to a color explosion in containers
These high quality seeds, although small, will come out if you plant them properly. I use the napkin method. It's amazing what beautiful pink blooms come out of such a small seed. Thank you, Everwilde Farms!!
Easy to grow
These pink lovely evening bloomers make your late afternoon walk different than your morning garden. I accidentally step on them all day while working in the apiary. They are forgiving and tough by day and exotic and floriferous in the evening.
