Katrina R on Aug 23, 2012Yes! Thank you Doug! I googled your information and it seems to match the prairie evening primrose. I will be bringing it in for sure when the temp. starts to drop.I don't think a desert plant would be too happy in my NY snow.Helpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on Aug 24, 2012They're usually an annual, Katrina, so it may not make it through the winter even if you bring it in.Helpful Reply

Joanne Menke on Sep 25, 2013We also call them Moon Flower, and they winter over with no problem in Rochester, NY... fun to watch the flower start to shake and pop open within a minute right about dusk! I video taped it happening and it is very cool!Helpful Reply

Toni Teague on Apr 27, 2014Although these are considered annuals they are what are know as self seeding plants, The seeds that fall to the ground will plant themselves in the soil and bring you new plants for the following year. Please use caution when cleaning up your fall foliage and leave the clean up to the folling spring or your might remove all of your self sown seeds.Helpful Reply

Sue Kiene on Jun 25, 2016They do not reseed themselves in all locations. I live near the Ohio Michigan border and we have to treat them like annuals. If you want them next year you have to take one of the seed pods in and plant them again in the spring.Helpful Reply
