Step-by-Step Guide
1. Seed Preparation
Oenothera fruticosa ‘Blood Orange’ seeds are typically easy to germinate and do not require extensive preparation, but some steps can improve their success:

Cold Stratification (Optional): Cold stratification can enhance germination by mimicking natural winter conditions.
Method: Place the seeds in a damp paper towel, put them in a plastic bag, and refrigerate them for 4-6 weeks. This helps break seed dormancy and prepares them for germination.
2. Sowing Seeds
Indoor Sowing
Timing: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost. This gives the seedlings a head start before transplanting outdoors.
Containers: Use seed trays or small pots with good drainage.
Soil: Use a light, well-draining seed starting mix. Oenothera fruticosa prefers slightly acidic to neutral pH soils.
Planting Depth: Sow the seeds on the surface of the soil and lightly press them down. Do not cover them with soil, as they need light to germinate.
Watering: Mist the soil surface with water to keep it consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Outdoor Sowing
Timing: Sow seeds directly outdoors in early spring or late fall. Late fall sowing allows seeds to undergo natural cold stratification over winter.
Location: Choose a spot with full sun to partial shade. ‘Blood Orange’ thrives in bright sunlight but can tolerate some shade.
Soil: Prepare the soil by loosening it and incorporating compost or organic matter to improve fertility and drainage.
Planting Depth: Scatter the seeds on the soil surface and gently press them down. Do not cover them with soil.
Watering: Water gently to keep the soil moist until seeds germinate.
3. Germination Conditions
Temperature: Maintain a soil temperature of 65-75°F (18-24°C) for optimal germination.
Light: Oenothera fruticosa seeds require light to germinate. Provide bright, indirect light if starting indoors. Place seed trays near a sunny window or under grow lights for at least 6-8 hours a day.
Moisture: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Mist the soil surface with water if it starts to dry out.
4. Germination Time
Germination typically occurs in about 14-28 days under optimal conditions.
5. Seedling Care
Thinning: Once the seedlings are a few inches tall and have developed their first true leaves, thin them out to prevent overcrowding. Space them about 12-18 inches apart.
Light: Ensure seedlings receive plenty of light. If growing indoors, place them in a sunny window or under grow lights for at least 6-8 hours a day.
Watering: Continue to keep the soil moist but not soggy. Water gently to avoid displacing the seedlings.
6. Transplanting
Hardening Off
Timing: Begin hardening off seedlings about a week before transplanting them outdoors. This helps them acclimate to the outdoor environment and reduces transplant shock.
Method: Gradually expose the seedlings to outdoor conditions, starting with a few hours of sunlight per day and increasing the duration over several days.
Outdoor Planting
Timing: Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date and when they are sturdy enough to handle.
Location: Select a spot with full sun to partial shade. ‘Blood Orange’ prefers plenty of sunlight but can tolerate some shade.
Soil: Ensure the soil is well-drained and rich in organic matter. Loosen the soil and mix in compost or organic matter if needed.
Spacing: Space the plants about 12-18 inches apart to allow for growth and airflow. This helps prevent disease and promotes healthy development.
7. Ongoing Care
Watering: Water regularly to keep the soil moist, especially during dry spells. Narrowleaf Evening Primrose prefers well-drained soil and can tolerate dry conditions once established, but regular watering promotes robust growth and flowering.
Mulching: Apply a thin layer of mulch around the plants to help retain moisture and suppress weeds. This also helps maintain even soil temperature and protects the roots.
Fertilizing: Oenothera fruticosa is not a heavy feeder. If needed, apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in the spring to support growth and flowering.
Pruning: Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and prevent the plant from putting energy into seed production. This also helps keep the plant tidy and can extend the flowering period.
8. Pest and Disease Management
Monitoring: Watch for common pests such as aphids and spider mites. Treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil if necessary.
Disease Prevention: Showy Evening Primrose is generally disease-resistant but can be susceptible to fungal diseases if the soil is too wet. Ensure good air circulation around the plants and avoid overhead watering to reduce the risk of fungal diseases.
Treatment: Remove and dispose of any diseased leaves immediately. Apply a fungicide if necessary and ensure proper spacing and air circulation.
Summary of Growing Duration
From Sowing to Germination: Approximately 14-28 days.
From Planting to Flowering: Narrowleaf Evening Primrose typically blooms from late spring through summer, with flowers lasting several weeks.
Additional Tips
Soil Preference: Narrowleaf Evening Primrose thrives in well-drained, sandy, or loamy soil enriched with organic matter. They prefer slightly acidic to neutral pH.
Sunlight: Provide full sun to partial shade for the best growth and flowering. Narrowleaf Evening Primrose blooms best with plenty of sunlight.
Drought Tolerance: Narrowleaf Evening Primrose is drought-tolerant once established but prefers regular watering for optimal growth and flowering.
Self-Seeding: Narrowleaf Evening Primrose often self-seeds and can spread in favorable conditions. Allow some of the plants to set seed and drop naturally to encourage reseeding.
Companion Planting: Narrowleaf Evening Primrose pairs well with other sun-loving perennials like coneflowers, black-eyed Susans, and daylilies.

My son destroys shoes, same thing happened here.
Size: 5 Big Kid, Color: Black
For some reason my son started doing the duck walk at school and while performing this little trick for his classmates he ripped the rubber that wraps over top the toe. Now, instead of being glued up and into place, its basically sagging down. Thankfully that's the only thing that's gone wrong with these and honestly this sort of wear and tear is not typical. What I would say is that if your child is rough on shoes, I would pass on these. They are very nice, very light weight and are great for school. However, due to the design, they might not best good for some kids. In terms of sizing and comfort, my son wears a 5 and these fit him very well. He has wide feet like his dad, and these don't bother him at all. He's says they're very comfortable and does enjoy wearing them.
