'Sparkle White' Gaura is an ideal plant for sunny and drier parts of your garden, where it will brighten up every corner thanks to its white flowers. Choose a light, permeable, and even stony or gravelly soil. This plant cannot stand "wet feet", so avoid places where water collects. When planting, maintain a spacing of about 40 cm (approx. 7 plants per m²) so that individual clumps can grow nicely and do not compete with each other. It looks great in combination with ornamental grasses that have similar moisture requirements.
During the season, maintenance is minimal. A big bonus is that the Gaura does not suffer from pests and common diseases avoid it as well. Your main task will be removing faded stems, which stimulates the plant to continue blooming until the first frosts. The flowers are also suitable for cutting – cut them for a vase when the first two to three blooms open, they will stay fresh longer that way. Even though Gaura is considered a short-lived perennial in horticultural practice (living for 3–4 years), it has a great ability to self-seed in its location. So if you leave a few stems to mature in the autumn, you can look forward to new seedlings next year to replace the older plants.
Overwintering is slightly more specific for this plant. Although it can tolerate frosts down to -18 °C (zone 7a), its biggest enemy in winter is not cold, but soil moisture. Leave pruning until the spring months (March/April), when you can see how the plant survived the winter. For winter, it is advisable to mound dry leaves around the base of the plant or cover it with pine branches, especially if you grow it in colder areas.
Do you want to grow Gaura on a balcony? No problem. The 'Sparkle White' variety thrives excellently in pots. Use a sufficiently large container with holes at the bottom and don't forget the drainage layer. The substrate should be poorer, mixed with sand or perlite for maximum airiness. In containers, water the plant only when the surface of the substrate is dry. Careful, roots freeze faster in a container than in a flowerbed, so winter protection of the pot (e.g., wrapping in jute or polystyrene) is necessary.
