Oenothera glazioviana
Also called Large Flowered Evening Primrose, Large Flower Evening Primrose, Large Evening Primrose, Garden Evening Primrose, Red Sepaled Evening Primrose
Redsepal evening primrose is a garden hybrid, usually grown as a biennial, with showy spikes of large yellow flowers that fade orange to red. It is often naturalised and can behave as an invasive weed, so it is best kept deadheaded and in check.
Oenothera glazioviana is a species of flowering plant in the evening primrose family known by the common names large-flowered evening-primrose and redsepal evening primrose. Oenothera lamarckiana was formerly believed to be a distinct species, but is now regarded as a synonym of Oe. glazioviana. Oenothera glazioviana can be found in scattered locations worldwide as an introduced species and in some locations behaves as an invasive species. It has long been cultivated as an ornamental plant.
Oenothera glazioviana arose as a garden hybrid between Oenothera elata and Oenothera grandiflora in Europe. It is cultivated as an ornamental plant, and has become naturalized in many countries around the world, like Britain and Ireland, where it is the most common species of its genus.
