Plants for Spring - Oenothera and Glaucidium

The catalogs have begun to arrive even as we are awaiting the arrival another batch of snow and cold to follow.

There are two items, which are piquing my interest and which I would like more information.

Oenothera 'African Sun' Roslyn Nursery lists it as hardy to Zone 4, but some other sites seem to suggest it being planted as an annual. Does anyone grow this?

Glaucidium palmatum - This has always intrigued me, but the rather hefty price of the plant has made me cautious of purchase unless I have at least a 50-50 chance of success.. I can supply a semi-shady woodland, although not particularly damp. Any help here, either?

I have faith someone will come through on these.
