Gaura

Gaura is a graceful, airy perennial known for its long blooming season and delicate, butterfly-like flowers that dance on slender stems. Native to the southern U.S., Gaura thrives in hot, dry conditions and brings a wildflower feel to the garden. The blooms, which are usually white or pink, appear continuously from late spring through fall, giving an ethereal quality to borders, rock gardens, or container plantings.
