Gaura lindheimeri


Gaura lindheimeri

This plant did not like my Scottish garden. I’m hoping it will be happier here. Now classed as Oenothera lindheimeri.

I grew a whole batch of these one year and they were gorgeous, lasting well into late autumn.

I’m hoping they will over winter Janey.

In a well-drained garden we had, the pink one lasted for years. I dug out the one I tried to plant in clay soil because it turned into a floppy, straggly mess. They are nice in the right position!

Oh dear, that doesn’t bode well. We have worked hard at drainage though, so time will tell. Thanks Ange.

Very pretty flower, Karen. Sounds like they'll bloom for ages, lovely bonus!

They are doing really well so far.
