Flowering Period

‘Youngii’ is a popular Oenothera that is much loved for its incredible blooms, uniquely opening during the day unlike other traditional varieties! From June until September, you will witness an array of saucer-shaped blooms that are lemon yellow in colour and measure one inch in width, boasting mounds of nectar at the centre. Each flower stands proudly on lengthy green stems and sits amongst an evergreen rosette of slender leaflets that later transform to a reddish gold in the autumn. Perfect for randomly placing in borders and flowerbeds to create a natural, meadow like appearance, this hardy perennial is effortless to care for and will be more than happy positioned in full sun. It would sit well in a cottage, scented or wildlife garden and will grow in height to 60cm, along with a spread of 40cm.

Growing Information

Grow in light, freely draining soils in full sun.

Sowing Information

Germinate February to May at 18-20C (64-68F) on the surface of a good free draining, damp seed compost. Apply a fine sprinkling of vermiculite, but do not cover the seed completely. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag until after germination which usually takes 14-21 days.

Transplant seedlings, when large enough to handle into trays or 7.5cm (3in) pots. Grow on in cooler conditions for at least 14 days before planting out. Plant outside after all risk of frost, 30cm (12in) apart.

Live Plants

Suttons strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

What our customers say

"Very impressed with the quality of leek and broad bean seeds you sent. Excellent germination and look forward to a bumper crop. Will certainly be back."

E. Smyth

“I bought all my seeds, potatoes, etc. from your catalogue last year for my new ‘larger’ vegetable garden. I have to say I have never had such success in the garden. The germination was excellent; the quality of plant stock and produce is superb."

Sadie

“I am compelled to write to you and your staff for the exemplary service provided by your company, in an age where the word and term ‘service’ has lost its meaning.”
