Ozark Sundrop - Oenthera Missouriensis (Seeds)

Description

A serviceable ground cover rather than accent plant in the garden. Also known as Missouri Evening Primrose. Produces very showy 3" wide poppy-like bright lemon yellow flowers on compact plants. Plants are quite showy once established and will thrive in sunny hot areas with soil that is less than ideal. Establishment and persistence is enhanced in dry, well drained soils. Hardy to Zone 4.

How to Grow

Sow indoors in a soil-less mix in January through February, germinate at 20 degrees Celsius for 14-21 days. Seeds germinate better when given a cold treatment prior to sowing. Grow on at the same temperature then transplant to the garden 12" apart when the danger of frost has passed. Direct seeding can also be attempted in May and again in August for flowering in the following year.
