Oenothera 'Cold Crick'
Cold Crick Evening Primrose, Evening Primrose
This is a perennial, compact, very free-flowering cultivar of Primrose. The bright-yellow cup-shaped flowers appear in abundance in summer and the plant makes a dense clump of upright branching small-leaved stems. Unlike many evening primroses it does not spread aggressively, nor does it self-seed, being sterile. Once established, it is drought tolerant.
This cultivar grows and flowers best in full sun on average well-drained soil. After flowering, the plants may be cut back to keep them tidy. The plant is easily divided in spring.
