Oenothera missouriensis, also known as Oenothera macrocarpa, is a low-growing, sprawling perennial prized for its massive, four-inch lemon-yellow flowers. These fragrant blooms open in the late afternoon and last until the following morning, attracting night-pollinating moths. Its narrow, lance-shaped green foliage forms a dense mat, making it an excellent choice for rock gardens, borders, or cascading over walls. This drought-tolerant native thrives in full sun and well-drained soil.
