Oenothera grandis
Oenothera grandis is a showy annual evening primrose native to the southern Great Plains and parts of Mexico, with lobed leaves and large showy flowers. It grows from a taproot and is easy to start from seed in sunny, well-drained spots.
Oenothera grandis, variously showy ragged evening-primrose, grand evening primrose, or large-flowered cut-leaved evening primrose, is an annual plant that is native to the southern Great Plains and parts of Mexico.
Showy ragged evening-primrose is native from Nebraska, Colorado, and Missouri southwards in the United States and to northeastern and southwestern Mexico. The many reports in states east of the Mississippi are likely recent introductions. In Mexico it is known from just three scattered states, Durango and Tamaulipas in the north and Michoacán in the south.
