| Botanical Name | Gaura lindheimeri 'Graceful Pink' |
| Description | A charming and resilient Texas native relative, 'Graceful Pink' Gaura is a must-have for Willis and Houston gardens. These 1-gallon plants produce a cloud-like effect with delicate pink flowers that dance on slender, arching stems, earning it the nickname "Whirling Butterflies." It is incredibly heat-tolerant and loves our Southeast Texas humidity. To ensure success in local clay, plant in a sunny spot with excellent drainage; while it is very drought-hardy once established, it will not tolerate "wet feet" during our heavy Houston rain events. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (Required for the best bloom production and a sturdy, upright habit) |
| Height x Width | 12-18 in. Tall x 12-18 in. Wide |
| Water | Low. Once established, it is very drought-tolerant thanks to its deep taproot. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot in heavy soil. |
| Zones | 5 - 9 (Reliable perennial for the Houston metro area) |
| Fertilization | Minimal needs. A light application of balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring is sufficient. Over-fertilizing can make the stems weak and floppy. |
| Pruning | Remove spent flower spikes to encourage a fresh flush of blooms. Cut the plant back significantly in late winter to promote new, vigorous growth in the spring. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
