Oenothera Siskiyou or evening primrose is an excellent groundcover or low-growing perennial, and because it is very drought resistant, it's natural for use in xeriscape gardens.

Perfect on slopes, where it is assured ideal drainage. Equally at home in traditional perennial borders and cottage gardens.

How do I mulch Butterfly Weed?
We highly recommend that you mulch your Butterfly weed with either a ground hardwood mulch or a ground cypress mulch depending on your local availability. Any type of mulch will do but cypress or hardwood mulch will be of a higher quality and provide better nutrition overall as they breakdown. Mulching helps to keep weeds away which will compete with your new investment for water and nutrients. A 2 to 3 inch layer of mulch is sufficient but remember to take care not to cover any part of the stem of the plant with mulch. Its better to leave a one inch gap of space between the mulch and the stem or base of the plant.
