Oenothera ‘Twilight’

Common Name:
Twilight Evening Primrose

Description:
Oenothera speciosa ‘Twilight’ is a compact, mat-forming perennial renowned for its profusion of large, saucer-shaped pale pink flowers that bloom from late spring through summer. Each bloom opens in the evening, releasing a light fragrance that attracts nocturnal pollinators. The plant's foliage is equally striking, with mid-green leaves featuring distinctive purple-bronze central markings, particularly prominent in new growth. In Melbourne gardens, ‘Twilight’ thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, displaying excellent drought tolerance once established. Its low-growing habit makes it ideal for ground cover, borders, rockeries, and container plantings, adding both colour and texture to various garden settings.
