Water white evening primrose (Oenothera speciosa 'Rosea') deeply once per week, allowing the top 1–2 inches (2.5–5 cm) of soil to dry out before watering again. Do not water excessively as this will cause root rot. Water in the evening to reduce the risk of fungal diseases from water droplets lingering on the leaves.
