Gaura Passionate Blush ['SME-2'] PP17,293 (Pink Gaura) - A compact perennial that grows to 18 inches tall by 20 inches wide with 1 inch long leaves along red stems and reddish buds that open to a display of beautiful pink flowers. Bloom season is from spring through fall and can be prolonged by trimming spent flower stems in mid summer. Gaura are tough plants that tolerate a wide range of soils and moisture but perform best in full sun in a well-drained soil with occasional to regular summer watering. Hardy to around 15°F. Trim back plants half way to the ground in late winter/ early spring to promote dense new growth. This plant is promoted by PlantHaven in the U.S. and is part of the Passionate series of Gaura from PGA (Plant Growers Australia). This series is known for a more erect compact habit and prolific flowering on shorter stems that are a burgundy red color. A fun little plant but does not seem long lived in our climate.
