Gauras

We carry two different varieties of Gaura here at the Nursery and while slightly different in form, they are both beautiful! Our Graceful Pink blooms with soft pink flowers that open from dark pink buds above a low mound of bronze-green leaves. The Graceful White has delicate white blooms that rise above their green foliage on tall stalks. Both are tough perennials that tolerate heat, humidity and some drought conditions once established making them a perfect plant for Texas gardens and beds! Deadheading is not necessary for continued blooming although you may want to trim back the dead stems in midsummer to encourage new blooms. Deer resistant, but highly attractive to butterflies, add these graceful spots of color to any landscape for blooms all summer long!
