Gaura lindheimeri 'Whirling Butterflies' (Whirling Butterflies Wandflower) 1 qt.
The ‘Whirling Butterflies’ wandflower cultivar forms airy clusters 24-30+ inches high by 18 to 24 inches wide, with delicate white blooms from pink buds held aloft over a density of medium-green leaves.
Its long bloom time — early summer into fall — makes it an excellent choice for cut flowers, as shearing old flowers promotes the formation of new ones. The long bloom time also supports many butterflies and other pollinators and beneficial insects over the course of the growing season.
Gaura needs plenty of sun and soils with good drainage, and is very drought tolerant once established. These are the same conditions needed for Salvia, Nepeta, Coreopsis, Caryopteris, Solidago, Echinacea and other sun-loving native and waterwise perennials, and all of these species can be mixed for knockout combinations in a sunny space!
