Homeowner Growing Tips

Oenothera prefers to grow in full sun, in well-drained soil. Very good for rock gardens, gravelly banks, or other areas of poor soil. Very adaptable to hot, dry conditions, sandy or clay soils, and light shade. Avoid sites with excessive moisture, especially in winter. May re-seed.
