Absolutely Evening Primrose, an invasive species of plant for sure and drought resistant. Jody, I think you could make what they call a standard of it. Many plants can be pruned to make a bush, you just have to keep pinching out any new growth, like early in the season. Everywhere you pinch the new growth that will divide to make two more stems with leaves coming, and you keep pinching out all new growth and you have a lovely bush. Have a most wonderful and awesome day, love life. Cindi
