Oenothera macrocarpa also known as evening primrose or sundrops has won awards for its outstanding garden performance.
It’s a low maintenance herbaceous perennial producing masses of bright-golden flowers with trailing leafy stems which appear from late spring to early autumn. And as the name suggests they only open late afternoon when the sun has set.
An excellent drought tolerant ground-cover suitable for planting in raised beds and rock gardens.
