How to keep Oenothera Mollissima.
Light
Oenothera odorata is a sun-loving perennial herbaceous plant native to open habitats, often thriving in meadows and grasslands. It prefers full sun but can also tolerate partial sun.
Temperature
Oenothera odorata can tolerate a wide range of temperatures, but its distribution may still be restricted by different combinations of moisture and heat. It performs best in warm summer climates with sufficient rainfall or watering. Extended periods of cloudy, rainy weather or prolonged high temperatures can increase the chance of Oenothera odorata dying. In winter, appropriate protection from cold can improve the plant's survival.
Fertilizer
The ideal time to fertilize Oenothera odorata is in early spring, as it comes out of dormancy and begins active growth. Fertilization supplies key nutrients for healthy growth. Although Oenothera odorata has relatively low fertilization needs, applying fertilizer once a year can enhance its survival and promote better, longer-lasting flowers.
