Gaura lindh. 'Whirling Butterflies'

Great plant for rockeries and pots. White flowers with pink accents on tall, slender stems. Long flowering time and vigorous growth. Gaura is borderline hardy and is best regarded as an annual, although it can come back. A good plant to add to new perennial beds and the like. Thrives best in slightly moist, well-drained and nutrient-rich soil in full sun, but can tolerate some drought once established.
