Description
Many consider this flower a wildflower. The plants have slender leafy, hairy branched stems, often purple-tinged. The lance shaped leaves are 2-3 in. long and progress singly (alternate) up the stem. As the name suggests, the flowers open wide at twilight and close by noon. The saucer shaped, canary-yellow, four-petaled flowers are up to 2 in. across and have a lemon-scented fragrance. The plant takes 2 years to complete its life cycle, with basal leaves becoming established the first year, and flowering occurring the second. It is considered to have a wide array of medicinal uses from relieving headaches, inducing labor, curing baldness, weight loss, upset stomach, hemorrhoids, treat bruises and as a treatment for laziness. Ideal for beds and borders.
