Gaura lindheimeri 'Ruby Ruby' is a spectacular gaura, bearing bright pink flowers in contrast with dark pink-bronze stems and foliage. Shorter than other gauras, it has a wild, slightly unkempt look that suits natural style plantings at the front of a border, and makes an excellent cut flower.

Gaura lindheimeri 'Ruby Ruby' is perfect for growing in a cottage garden or informal herbaceous border. Its growth habit makes it particularly useful for filling in gaps and linking other planting groups together.

Grow Gaura lindheimeri 'Ruby Ruby' in moist but well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. Cut back and divide large colonies in spring.
