Oenothera ‘Summer Sun’ (Evening primrose)

Oenothera ‘Summer Sun’ is a vibrant and compact evening primrose, ideal for bringing long-lasting colour to borders, gravel gardens, and containers. This hardy perennial forms a low, spreading mound of lance-shaped green foliage, topped with a profusion of bright yellow, saucer-shaped flowers that open from red buds on red-tinged stems from early summer into autumn.

Oenothera ‘Summer Sun’ is perfect for front-of-border planting or ground cover. Drought-tolerant once established, its cheerful blooms attract bees and other pollinators, making it a valuable and low-maintenance choice for wildlife-friendly gardens.

Summer – Autumn flowering. Best in a sunny and well drained position. Height & spread: 60 x 60cm (24 x 24 ins).
