Gaura 'Rosy Jane'
- Offering a truly enchanting display, Gaura 'Rosy Jane' features unique pink-edged starflowers that dance on wiry stems. This gaura is beloved for its airy, butterfly-like blooms that bring movement to the garden.
- It is celebrated for an exceptionally long flowering season, blooming tirelessly from June all the way to October. This makes it an invaluable addition for maintaining colour when summer starts to fade.
- Thriving in hot, sunny conditions, it prefers a hot and sunny location with well-drained soil. It looks magnificent swaying in a prairie-style border, a gravel garden, or a large patio container.
- With its graceful, upright and clump-forming habit, it reaches up to 90cm, weaving wonderfully through heavier, static perennials. The delicate green foliage provides a light, textured backdrop for the striking bi-coloured flowers.
- It is a fantastic wildlife benefactor and pollinator magnet, drawing bees and hoverflies in their droves. It is also surprisingly drought-tolerant once established, making it a low-maintenance superstar.
