That is the exact reason I ripped out all of my pink evening primroses!!!
I got a few small starts from a cousin a few years ago, and next thing I knew it took over that entire garden bed!

Oh my I hate to hear that!!
My pink primrose is just sitting there--all be it I planted it late in teh season----
I hope it does not get too crazy--if so, I guess I will have to take a bunch of it out.

evening primrose can get invasive, NOT ALL primroses are this invasive

Helping the world one seed at a time

When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. Mary Ann LaPensee

I like them so much that i decided to section them off too small areas using 4ft x4" plastic lawn edging.
