Scleranthus Verticillatus Subsp. Delortii

Common evening-primrose, scientifically known as Scleranthus verticillatus subsp. delortii, is a hardy flowering plant native to temperate regions of Europe and parts of Asia. It thrives in disturbed soils and open habitats, often found along roadsides and in meadows. The plant is recognized for its clusters of small, yellowish flowers that bloom in the late afternoon, giving it its common name. Its ability to grow in poor soil conditions makes it an important pioneer species in ecological succession. Despite its modest appearance, the Common evening-primrose plays a vital role in supporting local pollinators and maintaining biodiversity.
