Oenothera 'Siskiyou'

2” fragrant, pink blossoms in summer. One of our longest blooming plants. The attractive foliage has an irregular, purplish red spotting that intensifies with the sun. Very hardy if put in a well drained location.

This sport of O. ‘Siskiyou Pink’ is compact and has elongated, dark bronze-purple leaves with green edges. Large, pale pink cupped flowers bloom May-Aug., creating a nice contrast against the darker foliage. Foliage color shows best in spring and is more pronounced in immature plants and in cooler months. Prefers full sun but will tolerate afternoon shade. Grows to 12” tall and works well in gardens and containers alike.
