We’ve grown our native Calylophus known as the Half-Shrub Evening Primrose for many years here at the nursery. Ladybird Sunglow Primrose is a closely related plant hybridized from a number of Evening Primrose species with Half-Shrub most likely in its parentage. The most impressive attribute of this perennial is that, unlike the native species, it is constantly in bloom. An excellent rock garden or front of the border plant, we love its tiny leaves and soft yellow flowers. This tough perennial attracts butterflies, is not fed upon by deer, and performs best in well-drained soils.
