Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A fantastic and unusual Gaura! Rather than the long stems usually found on Gaura, this little cutie features larger-than-average blossoms on short stalks, the happy, bright-pink blooms just float above compact, tidy foliage. This is a wonderful garden plant that is just perfect for container or for the front of the border and it can take the heat. Found in the gardens at Siskiyou Rare Plant Nursery in Oregon in 2001. Drought tolerant once established. S/M-D PP17494
