Last year I bought one as my 'let's try something new' plant. I was entranced watching the flowers dance in the slightest breeze. I added a few more this year. It is indeed, a delight!
I'm in Indiana, just picked up "Sparkle White", Indian Feather, what a lovely plant, I may go back & buy a pink one too, what caught my eye was the swaying of the stems. Using mine as a focal point next to my entry to the deck. I hope it does well in my sandy type soil.
Aphids love Gaura, so keep the plants watered. Mine was covered with aphids, but there were plenty of ladybugs on the bushes too. I'm watering my Gaura more this year, so no aphids. Long lasting blooms!
I don’t think mine is coming back this year I planted it last year and it is towards the end of May and I haven’t seen anything come out of the ground yet

Wonderful video, what a large, healthy specimen! (The plant, tee hee.)

True about aphids
❤I Love that flowers
I picked up two yesterday bc they were marked half price. Beautiful plants, sure to please in any landscape.
Nice flower. Are they available in Florida? Is the garden open to the public?
Do we cut this in winter? Can we trim it to keep under control ?

Can these handle part shade ? I just put the pinkish ones at the side of the house
Yes they can
What is the spelling of the scientific name. Thanks, Greg
