Showy Evening Primrose is a very enthusiastic wildflower that needs no feeding.

Here in Zone 8a the predominate problem I have had is that the Showy Evening Primrose tends to happily reseed and spread to areas away from the original planting. If planted in really poor soil it seems to stay pretty well behaved but could very well become invasive in better soil.

The Showy Evening Primrose is better known as Buttercups here in Mississippi. It is most often seen in large drifts along roadsides and can really put on a show especially in areas where nothing else seems to grow. I have been growing buttercups along the street side of my garden for a good number of years with many compliments.
