Oenothera pilosella - Prairie Sundrops

Oenothera pilosella, commonly known as Sundrops, is a vibrant member of the evening primrose family. This sun-loving plant features yellow fragrant flowers that bloom during the day and close at night, attracting a variety of pollinators. With its shallow roots, Sundrops can thrive in moist soil and full sun but is also tolerant of drought and some shade.
