Re: Oenethera


O. missouriensis:  Ozarks Sundrops.  Missouri primrose.  6"-12" tall;
leaves 1"-4" long.  This showy species has large, 3"-4" wide lemon-yellow
flowers and narrow light-green leaves.  The most popular evening primrose. 
Drought tolerant.

Should do great in hot, humid, East TN summers.

I borrowed the statistics from a Rodale's book.
