Gaura lindheimeri 'Whiskers Deep Rose' (PP26,399)
Gaura are vase-shaped plants that bloom from late spring until fall. Will thrive in high heat and humidity areas. Will need winter protection in far northern states.
Very tolerant of heat and drought. Likes good winter drainage. Deep tap root does not transplant easily - be sure to dig deep if moving Gaura. If needed, prune Gaura in spring to improve overwintering.
Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!
