Narrow-leaf evening-primrose

Direct sow in fall or transplant in spring in well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral, dry to moderately moist soil in full sun — sundrops is a day-blooming native perennial (unlike its nocturnal cousin the evening primrose) that produces a long season of bright, clear, four-petaled lemon-yellow flowers 1.5–2 inches across from May through July on upright reddish stems with attractive, narrow, reddish-tinged leaves. The red pigmentation of the stems and foliage deepens through summer and turns spectacular bronzy-red in fall, providing excellent late-season color after the blooms end. It spreads by rhizomes and self-sowing to naturalize in open, sunny, dry areas, making it excellent for prairie gardens, wildflower meadows, and low-maintenance dry-slope plantings. The similar O. tetragona and its cultivar 'Fireworks' (with showy orange-red buds opening to yellow) are closely related and widely grown garden selections offering longer bloom periods. Drought tolerant; requires excellent drainage; no care once established. Спосіб посадки: Посів у відкритий ґрунт Відстань між рослинами: 12–18 дюймів Висота: 12–24 дюймів Дні до схожості: 10–21 Температура ґрунту для схожості: 16–21°C
