With clusters of satiny, saucer-shaped blooms in lemon yellow from late spring throughout summer, Oenothera tetragona is an endlessly cheerful plant. This beautiful evening primrose makes a lovely addition to prairie-style or naturalistic planting schemes. Tolerant of heat and drought, it is an ideal choice for coastal gardens and sun-baked borders in front of south-facing walls. For a stunning combination, pair Oenothera tetragona with blue-flowered plants that also love well-drained soils, such as agapanthus, eryngium and lavenders. Height: 60-80cm (24-31in). Spread: 40cm (16in). Height: 60-80cm (24-31in). Spread: 40cm (16in).
