Gaura lindheimeri Siskiyou Pink is a light, airy perennial that produces masses of soft pink, butterfly like flowers from early summer well into autumn. The delicate blooms dance on slender stems above a loose rosette of foliage, adding movement and a natural, meadow like feel to borders. It is excellent for cottage gardens, prairie style planting and any space that needs gentle height without heaviness. Pollinators visit the flowers freely, and the plant blends beautifully with grasses and other soft, flowing perennials.
