Oenothera fruticosa 'Fireworks'
Oenothera fruticosa 'Fireworks'
Common Name: sundrops
Confused for many years in the trade, we are proud to carry the true 'Fireworks'. Deep bronze foliage and red stems are contrasted by red buds opening to canary yellow blooms in June. The individual flowers may not last for more than a day or two, but they open in succession leaving the plant in continuous bloom. Burgundy rosettes in winter. More compact and darker than 'Summer Solstice'. The most popular cultivar of the Oenotheras!
Height: 15-18 Inches
Spread: 12-24 Inches
USDA Hardiness Zone: 4-9
