Gaura, often called Whirling Butterflies, is a graceful perennial known for its airy, delicate charm. It produces masses of soft, fluttering blooms—usually white or pale pink—that dance above the plant on tall, slender stems, giving the effect of butterflies hovering in the breeze. Flowering begins in spring and continues right through summer and into autumn, offering long-lasting colour and movement in the garden.

The plant forms a light, fountain-like mound of narrow foliage, creating a soft, natural look perfect for cottage gardens, wildflower-style beds, borders, pathways and mixed plantings. Gaura is incredibly tough, drought-tolerant and low maintenance, thriving in full sun and well-drained soil with very little care required.

Loved for its ability to add height, softness and a gentle sense of motion, Gaura brings effortless elegance to any landscape.
