Gaura

Gaura lindheimeri


Description

Gaura is a hardy, carefree perennial with wispy flowers that are tethered on wiry stems and float about in the wind above the foliage, resembling butterflies whirling about.  A great way to add movement and a feathery texture to your garden.  This plant has a long bloom time and beautiful foliage. It is also heat, drought and secondary water tolerant. Varieties we typically carry are:

  • Whirling Butterflies - bright white flowers

  • Indian Feather - white with pink radiating from the center

  • Siskiyou Pink - pale pink flowers

  • Wand Flower - white flowers fading to pink with spotted foliage
