Superlophus® Sunglow Texas Primrose (Oenothera)
- Drought Tolerant,
- Great for The South,
- Deer Resistant
Description
(Texas Primrose) Add a splash of sunshine to your garden with Oenothera Superlophus® Sunglow. This extremely heat tolerant plant features bright yellow blooms and fine needle-like foliage. It stands 4-8 inches tall and can spread to 20 inches wide creating a mounding/trailing habit. Planted in full sun, this Southwest native is heat and drought-tolerant making it a great selection for the South as well as the North. We recommend planting in areas with good drainage and watering regularly as needed. Although Superlophus® Sunglow is an annual in most of the country, those living in zones 8-10 may find that it overwinters. Plant in mass, as an edging, or in a rock garden. Superlophus® Sunglow Oenothera does not require a lot of fertilizer. If need be, you can trim your plant back by a third to encourage more growth and branching. Superlophus® Sunglow attracts butterflies, bees, and birds to the garden and for those of you with deer, this is a deer-resistant annual!

Reviews
Grew calylophus for the first time in my zone 8 garden. Two of the three plants returned and are now starting to bloom in May. Great plants but still hard to find in local garden centers here in central NC.
Love it it's on it's second year for me just south of Houston TX.
Excellent site
