Via Wikipedia: While #OenotheraSpeciosa makes an attractive garden plant, care should be taken with it as it can become invasive, spreading by runners and seeds. This drought-resistant plant prefers loose, fast-draining soil and full sun. The flowers are frequented by several species of insect, but moths are the most common as the flowers are mostly open at night.
