Gaura lindheimeri ‘Rosyjane’ is a superb gaura, bearing white flowers with a pink picotee edge, from late spring to early autumn. It’s a bushy, clump-forming perennial, perfect for growing in the middle of a sunny border. Its wild, slightly unkempt look suits informal, wildlife and cottage garden style plantings, and it’s particularly useful for filling in gaps in the border and linking other planting groups together.
It has a long flowering season that lasts from early summer well into autumn. Towards the end of the year, the spent flowers enjoy a second lease of life, taking on beautiful autumn tints, especially in cold weather.
Grow Gaura lindheimeri ‘Rosyjane’ in moist but well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. Cut back and divide large colonies in spring.
