Gaura


Gaura (Gaura lindheimeri (Gaura))

This plant has grown a lot and continued to flower since I planted it about 2-3 months ago.

I was the same Lori. I bought it from local garden centre unlabelled about 3 months ago, just knew it was a perennial and I'm always keen to find perennials that I havn't got. I identified it after purchase with help of GOY members.

I bought Gaura this summer.
Hoping it will survive the winter.

I hope so too TT. It was sold here as perennial at a good local nursery, so if it survives here it will definitely be OK in Britain.

Or is it too near winter ?
