Compact and eye-catching, Gaura 'Siskiyou Pink' (Gaura lindheimeri) features airy-looking, 4-petaled pink flowers fluttering along thin stems and resembling clouds of butterflies. This North American wildflower adds an interesting fine texture in the garden with its flowers dancing and dangling above the red-tinged foliage.

• Enjoys a long blooming season, typically from early summer into fall, with only a few flowers opening at a time. However, they bloom in sufficient numbers to create a very graceful display for weeks.
• Forms a lovely vase-shaped clump, about 18-24 in. tall (45-60 cm) and wide 12-18 in. wide (30-45 cm), of erect or arching, densely clustered wand-like stems. The foliage consists of lance-shaped dark green leaves, often splashed with red, growing directly from the stems and sparsely spaced along them. 
• A full sun lover, Gaura thrives in sandy, loamy, well-drained soils and can survive long periods of drought. Tolerates heat, humidity, partial shade, and dry soils too!
• Deer and rabbit resistant, Gaura attract butterflies and hummingbirds.
• Perfect for the sunny border for its accent color and delicate texture, Gaura can also be used in containers, rock gardens, or naturalistic meadows. Stunning in small groups or large drifts.
• Although deadheading is not necessary for continued blooming, you may want to trim back some flowering stems in midsummer. This will encourage new flowering stems to emerge. Flowers will also be closer to the foliage and the plant will look tidier.
• Low care, this Gaura thrives on neglect and is virtually disease and pest free
• Unlike the species, 'Whirling Butterflies' doesn't self-seed. 
• Division is not necessary and resented by the plant because Gaura grows from a thick taproot.
