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
