Evening Primrose Hookeri
Evening Primrose Hookeri is a perennial flower that is able to stabilize a disturbed site and will only fail if it is crowded by taller plants. It stands at about 3 feet tall and has yellow flowers. It can tolerate sand and seasonal flooding and it would be an excellent choice to use in a butterfly garden. Coastal regions make a good habitat for this primrose, but it will grow elsewhere.
