Evening-primrose
Missouri bigfruit evening-primrose.
Missouri evening primrose - Oenothera missouriensis Sims.
Bright flowers for bouquets and gardens!
Origin: southern part of central North America. Perennial herbaceous plant. Stems ascending, 30-40 cm high. Leaves are dense, oval to narrowly lanceolate. Flowers are single, up to 10 cm in diameter, as if lying on the ground, golden yellow, fragrant. Blooms in June-August for 60-65 days.
In culture since 1811.
Not very resistant, but very effective. Propagated by sowing seeds in the ground in spring or autumn.
Location: winter and drought resistant.
Grows well in sunny places. In the shade, the flowers are open during the day.
Soil: light, well-drained, neutral, fresh, rich in nutrients.
Care: fertilize well, and remove faded inflorescences !
Propagation: by seeds, which are sown in late May - early June directly into the ground or in cold frames, with seeds planted at 5-10 mm. Do not allow the substrate to dry out, otherwise seed germination decreases. Seedlings are pricked at a distance of 5-10 cm. For the winter, cover with dry leaves and spruce branches. It can also be propagated by young shoots formed around the mother plant, or by dividing the bush in May, or September-October.
Usage: in group plantings in semi-shady places, low-growing species are beautiful on rocky areas in combination with other perennials.
Partners: perfectly combined with astilbes, bells, veronica, ageratum, lobelia.
