Growing and Maintenance Tips:

This drought-tolerant cultivar can be planted in full sun or partial shade in an average, well-drained soil. It will thrive with little or no care and is suitable for dry slopes or other low maintenance sites. Can spread very quickly.

Additional Notes about Evening Primrose:

Almost invasive. If it'll grow 'vigorously' in full sun, it'll bear watching.
