Oenothera
missouriensis ~ Evening Primrose |
| I use
Oenothera missouriensis frequemtly but have some cautions concerning its vigor. It roots and runs with more enthusiasm
than I am ready for in a civilized garden. When the garden can be a bit wild and plants
can be left to fend largely for themselves then this is a great choice.
Oenothera missouriensis is one of those plants that seem to laugh at danger. No amount of drought in our area can affect this
plant. The Evening Primrose is a great addition to the fragrant
garden with its late burst of fragrance. Oenothera missouriensis starts from seeds and the runners root in just a few weeks. It
will vine into adjoining plants and always seems to be up to some mischief. Then it
blooms like this and all is forgiven again.
