In the garden

This entry is a registered garden cultivar of Oenothera within the Onagraceae family, offered under the breeder code 'Uriblbp'PBR and carrying the trade name Baby Butterfly Dark Pink. Its name indicates the selection’s darker pink flowering and the UK flowering window is June to September, information useful when planning summer colour runs. Growing requirements for this specific cultivar are best taken from the nursery or pack label supplied at purchase; the breeder code on the name signals that provenance and recommended care will usually be provided by the grower. When choosing plants, check the supplier notes for exposure, soil type and any winter protection advised for your garden. Use the plant where sustained summer flowering is wanted and pair it with later-flowering perennials to extend season-long interest. For garden planning note the cultivar identity on the label and the June–September bloom period so you can sequence it with earlier and later plants; the 'Baby Butterfly Dark Pink' selection will provide a darker-pink display throughout that window.
