Pink Mexican Evening Primrose
Oenothera Speciosa 'Rosea'
Overview
The Pink Mexican Evening Primrose (Oenothera speciosa 'Rosea') is a spreading perennial, flourishing in USDA zones 5-9. Its delicate, rosy-pink blooms with yellow centers, about 2-3 inches wide, emerge from spring to summer. Tolerant of drought and preferring full sun, it reaches a height of 8-12 inches and can spread up to 20 inches. Light pruning encourages denser growth, making it ideal for groundcover or border displays.
