Promotion method used for Oenotheras is dependent on the life cycle of the species. Annuals and perennials can be promoted by seed in early spring or at the end of autumn. During the beginning of autumn, the biennial should be deployed. Oenotheras can also be promoted by distributing existing plants. Some oenothera species are vigorously spreading themselves and can become invasive if they are not controlled.
