Gaura originates from warm regions and loves hot, sunny spots, so choose a location in full sun. The choice of soil is crucial for successful cultivation. It grows best in well-drained, sandy, and nutrient-poor soil. Avoid heavy or clay soils, where the plant would quickly suffer from root rot, especially in the cold winter season. When planting, maintain a spacing of 40 cm, which corresponds to approximately 5 to 7 plants per square meter, to allow air to circulate freely around them.
Once the seedlings have rooted in the flowerbed, they are extremely drought-tolerant and require only a minimum of watering. Waterlogging is more likely to harm them, so you can safely forget about regular watering. Similarly, they do not require any fertilization; poor soil suits them perfectly. Gaura is amazing in that it does not suffer from any pests or diseases, making it a maintenance-free beauty for your garden. The flowers appear tirelessly from June to October and attract a large number of pollinators. If you want to bring some beauty indoors, cut the stems as soon as the first two or three florets open – they are excellent as cut flowers for vases.
In our climate, Gaura behaves as a short-lived perennial, but because it self-seeds readily, it will not disappear from your garden easily. Frost resistance reaches down to -18 °C (zone 7a), so in mild regions and with the right location, it will survive the winter without problems. The key is protection from winter wetness. Do not prune dead stems and leaves in autumn; they serve as natural protection for the plant's crown against frost. Perform a back-cut of the whole plant just above the ground early in the spring, which will encourage new vitality and compact growth.
Customers often ask us if this beautiful plant can be grown in containers. The answer is definitely yes; Gaura is perfect for pots and spacious window boxes on sunny terraces or balconies. For successful container cultivation, always choose a deeper pot because the plant develops a long taproot that needs plenty of space. Do not forget to place a thick drainage layer, such as expanded clay, at the bottom of the pot, and significantly lighten the standard potting soil with sand. Keep the watering in the container rather moderate and always let the substrate dry out thoroughly between individual waterings to prevent root rot.

Times may vary depending on the season, climate, location, sowing and transplanting dates and possibly also the conditions in the greenhouse/greenhouse. We always recommend testing how the plant performs in your conditions. Please do not take this as a guarantee.
