Celene,
I am in zone 4a and O. pallida 'Innocence' didn't survive the winter. I started them from seeds. They were inter- planted with O. macrocarpa (missouriensis) along my driveway south side. I had 6 growing and loved them.

I also grew O. speciosa (pink blooms) from seeds. It survived the winter but is also weedy as it spread by rhizomes underground. I got rid of it before it became too much of a problem . Too bad since I loved it. I have no photo of it.

My favorite is O. macrocarpa missouriensis aka Ozark Sundrops for it long season of bloom and easy culture.

1] O. pallida
2] O. macrocarpa (missouriensis)
3] O. macrocarpa (missouriensis) along my driveway where O. pallida also grew, and perished over the winter.
