Siskiyou Pink Gaura (Wandflower) – 1 Gallon Pot

---

Hailing from the great state of Texas, and also found in Mexico, the ‘Siskiyou Pink’ Gaura is an airy perennial beauty that will please you and the butterflies, hummingbirds, and beneficial pollinators all summer long and into fall with its abundant, butterfly-shaped pink flowers that flutter in clouds above red-tinted, green foliage. The upright arching foliage might reach 2 to 3 feet tall and wide in flower making it an ideal choice for garden beds and containers, and the long flower stems are great for cutting and use in flower arrangements. Very easy to grow and cold hardy to -20F, this tough but pretty perennial plant can also take the southern heat and is drought tolerant when established. You might also be happy to know that Gaura is not on the deer or rabbit menu!

Gaura is very easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full to mostly sun. Established plants have very high drought tolerance but constantly soggy soil can cause problems with the roots. For best flowering, we suggest at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Deadheading spent flowers spikes is not necessary but may encourage new growth and heavier rebloom.
