Taxonomy ID: 12686
Oenothera glazioviana, also known as the large-flowered evening-primrose or redsepal evening primrose, is a species of flowering plant in the evening primrose family. Originating in Brazil, it is now found in scattered locations worldwide, primarily as an introduced species. This erect biennial plant can reach a height of 1.5m and features a basal rosette of crinkly, oval leaves. In the second year, it produces terminal clusters of bowl-shaped, pale yellow flowers that open in the evening during summer and autumn. O. glazioviana has long been cultivated as an ornamental plant, but it has also become invasive in some areas. As a rare houseplant, the Redsepal Evening Primrose requires regular watering and thrives in long-lasting, direct light, preferably positioned within 1 foot of a window. It prefers well-draining soil and does not typically require additional fertilizers if repotted when it doubles in size.
