Native to the southern prairies of North America, this perennial is one of the most rewarding garden plants there is. The first flowers appear as early as June, and the blooming period often lasts well into the fall.
The numerous white flowers, tinged with pink, grow on loosely branched stems and give the plant its distinctive airiness. This effect is particularly striking when the plant is placed among robust perennials or grasses.
Thanks to its deep roots, Oenothera lindheimeri tolerates drought surprisingly well and also copes exceptionally well with hot summers. When it thrives, its flowers grace the garden for many months.
