Pink Evening Primrose is a native wildflower of the south-central United States and Great Plains that produces large pink flowers with yellow centers, colonizing roadsides and disturbed areas into brilliant pink masses in spring. Unlike many evening primroses, it blooms during the day as well. Native bees and hawk moths pollinate it, and it spreads rapidly by underground rhizomes.
