Oenothera fruticosa 'Fireworks' (Evening Primrose)

Oenothera fruticosa ‘Fireworks’
(Evening Primrose)

Bright and easy to grow, ‘Fireworks’ brings bold contrast to sunny gardens with deep bronze foliage, red stems, and red buds that open to cheerful canary-yellow flowers in June. The blooms open during the day and close again at night. While individual flowers are short-lived, new buds open in succession, keeping the plant in bloom over an extended period.

This vigorous, spreading perennial is well suited to rock gardens, sunny borders, and dry garden areas. Native to Maine and the eastern U.S., Evening Primrose handles sunny, well-drained sites with ease and is drought tolerant once established.
