Gaura lindheimeri ‘Whirling Butterflies’ is an herbaceous perennial with an upright, clump-forming, and airy habit and featuring dark green, lance-shaped leaves on wiry stems and flowers with bright white petals that emerge from soft pink buds. It has a deep taproot making it very drought-tolerant, but difficult to transplant. Uses include border, meadow, container, erosion control, urban and street landscape. Can be used in desert and intermountain landscapes. Performs best in full sun. Shade creates leggy stems and fewer flowers. It prefers average to poor, sandy, or loamy well-drained soils. Moderate water use; low once established. Deer and rabbit-resistant. Fire-resistant. Resistant to Verticillium wilt. Cold hardy to -10°F.
