One of the prettiest species of the genus, Oenothera fruticosa (Sundrops) is an upright clump-forming biennial or perennial boasting showy clusters of large, saucer-shaped, bright yellow flowers, 2 in. across (5 cm), atop reddish, slender, hairy stems clad with lance-shaped green leaves. Blooming profusely from late Spring to early Summer, the flowers open during the day, hence the common name of sundrops, and give way to club-shaped seed capsules which persist into autumn. They rise from a reddish-purple rosette which is evergreen in mild winter areas. A valuable plant for its ability to grow in poor soils and tolerate drought. Provides a bold splash of color in the summer garden.
