The Gaura plant is a perennial flowering shrub that can grow up to 4ft tall. It has lance-shaped leaves and produces clusters of white, pink, or purple flowers from late spring to fall. The blooms are bell-shaped and have four petals that curl inward when they open. The flowers tend to attract bees and other pollinators.

Originally native to the prairies of Southwestern United States, Gaura can now be found in many parts of the world. It is a popular choice for home gardeners due to its low maintenance requirements.

To care for Gaura plants, start by planting them in well-draining soil that is slightly acidic. They should be placed in full sun, and given regular watering to keep the soil moist. Fertilize every spring with a balanced fertilizer to encourage healthy growth. You should also prune the plant in early spring to help promote new blooms and remove any dead foliage. To prevent disease, avoid splashing water on the leaves when watering. Finally, mulch around the base of the plant to keep it cool and retain moisture. With proper care, Gaura will thrive in your garden for years to come!
