GAURA lindheimeri (Gaura )
GAURA lindheimeri (Gaura ) looks like butterflies flying in the garden. In full sun, it grows best in dusty, loamy, well-drained soils. It is important to have good drainage. A tap rooted plant that can resist heat, humidity, and drought. To extend the bloom time, remove spent flower spikes. Especially when grown in rich soils, thin flower stems tend to become leggy and flop. If spent flower stems are left in place in the fall, they can self-seed. Perfect for naturalistic meadows.
