Hello,
Not sure which category I should put this in...
I have a question and I hoping someone can answer. My sister just gave me an evening primrose plant. It is the common kind I believe with the yellow flowers. I live in a townhouse that is rented. I would like to know if it is possible to grow an evening primrose plant in a pot of some sort. I really cant put them in the ground nor do I want to (in case we were to ever move i would take them with me and put in ground). A couple years ago I had some bleeding hearts I was given and had the same issue. I have them in big pots and they have done GREAT! Come back each year. I am really hoping that the evening primrose will be the same way.
Anyone who can help me would be great!
thanks

Yes, Ma'am, you can grow them in containers and they do quite well. Here is a bit of info for you. Just remember that they need protection from the mid-day sun and heat and do best with morning sun/dappled shade.
