Common name evening primrose Family onagraceae Life cycle perennial (Z4-7) Flowers yellow (summer) Size 3-6" Light sun Cultural notes drought-tolerant, needs well-drained soil Low-growing, loose-clumping plant with elegant elongated leaves. Yellow flowers appear throughout summer. Ours started blooming in the first half of June. It has proved longer-lived than most oenotheras in our garden, returning at least three years.

We left this plant behind in our Pennsylvania garden (and wish it well); we don't grow it in Houston.
