Sundrop perennials (Carlington east)

Oenothera perennials. These are bare root in a pail of water so will need immediate planting. Showy, four-petalled, large lemon-yellow flowers grow up 1-2" across in clusters at tops of 18-24" stems. Blooms June to July. Spreads readily. Growing preferences: Sun to half-shade. Needs moisture in summer or will wilt badly. They are easy to dig up as the runners are just below the surface. They transplant well. The yellow flowers make a wonderful showing by producing a carpet effect. The amount of light and moisture affect the height of the plant. Wonderful red foliage in the fall. Zone: 4-8.
