Gaura lindheimeri 'White'
- Few plants are quite so elegant as gaura, with its butterfly-like flowers and open, airy appearance. 'White' is no exception, dazzling flowerbeds with its blooms from midsummer through to autumn.
- A bushy plant whose stems stand nice and tall, this perennial makes a wonderful feature plant for a large pot, as well as thriving alongside other summer favourites in borders.
- Displaying good drought-tolerance once established, this is a good choice for those gardeners looking to future proof their garden from a climatic perspective as conditions continue to warm.
- Want to introduce more wildlife to your garden? This plant is on the RHS's Plants for Pollinators list, thanks to its prodigious bee and butterfly appeal.
- This gaura is a recipient of the RHS Award of Garden Merit, which is conferred upon those plants shown to perform particularly well in British gardens.
