Description: A member of the Evening Primrose family, it is actually a day-flowering species. These blooms glow in twilight, and are a nice contrast to the improved dark green foliage. It spreads semi-aggressively and forms dense mats; Droves of long-tongued bees, butterflies, and skippers are drawn to the prolific pollen these plants produce. Deep orange buds open to bright yellow, fragrant flowers and photo-worthy stamens appear in early summer. Meadow Sundrops prefer moist soils and near full sun but can tolerate periods of drought and light shade. Plant in full sun for strong, upright stems. Reddish-orange foliage in the autumn. Another common name in use is Meadow Evening Primrose.
