WHIRLING BUTTERFLIES GAURA 1gal

For a touch of whimsical movement and airy grace in your Prescott garden, look no further than Whirling Butterflies Gaura! This captivating perennial lives up to its name, with delicate, four-petaled white flowers that truly appear to flutter on slender, reddish stems, dancing gracefully in the slightest breeze. It's an absolute magnet for butterflies and hummingbirds, adding lively charm to your outdoor space from late spring through fall.

'Whirling Butterflies' Gaura forms an elegant, vase-shaped clump, typically growing 2-3 feet tall and spreading 1-2 feet wide. This airy structure makes it an excellent "thriller" or "filler" in mixed containers and a fantastic addition to borders, cottage gardens, or even naturalized areas where its informal beauty can shine. This plant is a sun-lover and absolutely thrives in our Arizona climate, requiring full sun (at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily) to produce its abundant blooms. Best of all, Gaura is celebrated for its drought tolerance once established, and it's also highly deer and rabbit-resistant, providing worry-free beauty for your landscape.

To ensure your 'Whirling Butterflies' Gaura establishes well and thrives, plant it in Watters Potting Soil. While Gaura tolerates lean, even poor soil, excellent drainage is paramount for its long-term health, as it despises "wet feet." Watters Potting Soil provides the ideal environment for its deep taproot system. When it comes to feeding, Gaura is not a heavy feeder, and too much rich fertilizer can actually cause it to become leggy and floppy. Instead of feeding every two weeks with Flower Power, for Gaura, a light application of a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring is sufficient to encourage healthy growth without sacrificing its natural airy habit.
