A lovely gaura with striking white flowers. A superb perennial, ideal as either a border or container plant. A graceful, hazy plant with airy wands of pink, star-shaped flowers. This exceptionally long-flowering perennial, looks equally at home in an informal cottage-style garden or among soft grasses in a perennial border. A major attraction to butterflies, it continues to flower through the first hard frosts of autumn into winter
