Characteristics and uses:
The blossom of the pink Gaura last from the spring to the autumn. The nectar-producing pink flowers appear on long, fine stems. Choose a sunny and rather dry spot to plant it, and let the Gaura reseed itself naturally to form a beautiful flowering bed, as this perennial only last three to four years grown in the ground. The pink Gaura will thrive in all circumstances: on its own, in a flowering bed, against a wall or even in a large pot on a balcony.
At the end of blossom, cut back the Gaura 10cm from the ground. Make sure you keep a few, naturally reseeded young plants so as to ensure the continuity of the plant.
