Oenothera caespitosa - Tufted Evening Primrose｜ Other Products

Dreamy, fragrant, and deliciously dramatic at dusk, Oenothera caespitosa unfurls enormous silky white flowers as evening arrives. The blooms shine like little paper lanterns above a low tuft of gray-green leaves, releasing a sweet scent for nighttime pollinators. By the following morning they often blush pink as they fade, leaving a romantic watercolor effect at ground level.Tufted Evening Primrose stays only about 6–10 inches tall while spreading as much as 2 feet, making those extravagant flowers look even larger. Place it beside a patio, path, or evening seating area where the nightly performance—and fragrance—will not be missed. It is equally lovely in rock gardens, gravel plantings, sunny native beds, and water-wise borders where a low plant with serious flower power is wanted.Give this western native full sun and sharply drained soil. Once established it tolerates drought, heat, cold, and lean conditions better than its delicate-looking blooms suggest; overwatering is a much greater danger than neglect. A deep taproot makes established plants difficult to move, so choose the spot thoughtfully. Elegant, tough, and timed perfectly for sunset strolls, it brings a completely different rhythm to the garden. Explore our Oenothera collection.
