Description
More compact and floriferous than the species, the Whirling Butterflies Gaura, commonly called Wandflower by some folks, is a very hardy and easy-to-grow native perennial featuring arching red stems and pink buds that open to butterfly-shaped snow-white flowers, and butterflies love them! So do the hummingbirds and other beneficial pollinators. Flowers open on long, wand-like panicles over a long period from late spring to early or mid fall, dancing in the wind like butterflies, hence the cultivar name. Clothed in narrow lance-shaped leaves, at 2 to 3 feet tall and equally wide Whirling Butterflies is a good fit as an accent in small garden spaces and container gardens or grouping in larger borders. Very easy to grow, this plant can take the cold (-20F) and heat, blazing sun, and is drought tolerant when established. You might also be happy to know that Gaura is not on the deer or rabbit menu.
