PJ:
You’ve pointed out a great characteristic of the Oenothera. Grown in rich soils with too much water and they become overgrown, don’t flower as well and become short lived. Grown “lean and mean” once established is preferred by plant and gardener.

I’ve planted a couple varieties of Oenothera in my beds and they are growing wonderfully here in Utah. In a sandier, leaner soil with less water use than my other flowering plants, they are happy and are quickly becomming a favorite of mine.
