AudreyDee said:I left a few wild evening primroses ((Oenothera biennis) growing in the vegetable garden this year just because I like their flowers. I shortly discovered that the Japanese beetles liked them too and went straight for them rather than the vegetables. I wasn't so fortunate in the flower garden. Since I didn't have any primroses there, my roses suffered instead.
