Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Short German selection of this Eastern US native (it is kind of crazy how many US native plants have to go to Europe to be appreciated and selected). Only a foot or so tall, with very profuse, bright yellow flowers over a long period in during the summer. Like most oenothera, tough and easy to grow, sometimes to a fault. Zone 4
