A compact, clump-forming perennial with dark green, lance-shaped leaves flushed dark red, Gaura Rose is a stand-out in any garden. Upright red stems bearing rose-pink, star-shaped flowers that open from red buds form early summer and last well into autumn - providing a long-lasting, colourful display.
Unlike many gauras, it maintains a tidy habit and won’t develop a wild, wispy look, making it ideal for gallon containers, retail displays, and home gardens. Its long-lasting flowers are highly attractive to butterflies, adding further appeal to this durable and eye-catching garden performer.
Soil: Keep moist until established, mulching at planting time is beneficial.
Conditions: Full sun. Heat, drought and coastal tolerant.
Size: Height 40-50cm x width <30cm
