“Oenothera speciosa ‘Siskiyou’ produces 2″ pink, cup-shaped flowers most of the early summer. Also called Evening Primrose or Pinkladies, Oenothera ‘Siskiyou’ blooms are open during the day. ‘Siskiyou’ is a rapidly spreading perennial plant that makes a deciduous ground cover, but it should be contained as it is very aggressive. Plants spread both by rhizomes and by seed.

“Oenothera speciosa ‘Siskiyou’ prefers full sun and average to poor, well-drained soil. It it very tolerant of hot sites and infertile, dry soils.” Rare Roots
