A charming, compact Gaura covered in delicate dark pink, star-shaped flowers that dance above the foliage. In Cape Town, it typically flowers from spring through autumn, approximately September to May, with flowering strongest during the warmer months. Its upright, bushy habit and graceful flower stems add movement and colour to sunny borders, containers and mass plantings.

Planting & Care:
Plant in full sun and well-drained soil, spacing plants approximately 30–40cm apart. Water regularly while establishing, then reduce watering once established, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid poorly drained or waterlogged soil. Lightly trim after a heavy flowering period if needed to maintain a compact shape and encourage fresh growth.
Gaura's delicate flowers are often compared to butterflies as they appear to hover and dance above the plant on slender stems. This is why Gaura is commonly known as Butterfly Gaura or Wand Flower.
