Oenothera Speciosa 'Copper Canyon'

Description

In spring and summer appears a long succession of large, fragrant, pale pink flowers, whilst the previous day's flowers fold up and turn red. We discovered this new plant in 2003 in a damp meadow, 7,000 feet above Copper Canyon in Southern Mexico.

Sowing Advice

Sow immediately at any time onto preferably a soil-based compost, covering with fine grit to approximately their own depth. Germination MAY be quicker if kept at 15 to 20 degrees C. but many seeds WILL NOT come up the year they are sown, needing winter chilling after sowing, and ONLY come up with natural spring germination.
