Oenothera fruticosa, commonly known as narrowleaf evening primrose or sundrops, is a cheerful, sun-loving perennial native to eastern North America. This hardy plant is known for its bright yellow, cup-shaped flowers that bloom profusely from late spring into summer, lighting up borders and naturalized areas. Reaching 1 to 2 feet in height, it forms bushy clumps with slender, lance-shaped leaves and reddish stems that add extra visual interest.

Sundrops thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, tolerating drought once established. Their ability to adapt to poor or sandy soils makes them ideal for wildflower gardens, pollinator habitats, and low-maintenance borders. The vibrant blooms attract bees and butterflies, while the plant’s resilience and ease of care make it a favorite among native plant enthusiasts.

With its long bloom period, compact growth habit, and sunny disposition, Oenothera fruticosa is perfect for adding color and energy to both formal and informal garden designs.
