Gaura lindheimeri 'Gaudi Pink'
This is a small Gaura, growing to only 30cm in height. It's new foliage is a dark purple green, turning green during the summer. Above the foliage stands the delicate, red stems that bear pale pink, star shaped flowers emerging from red buds. An interesting Gaura and I suspect will do well in container planting schemes, bringing interest not only from it's delicate flowers but also the darker foliage.

Cultivation
Grows best in a sunny spot with fertile, moist but well drained soil. Dead head to keep the flowers comings. As it can be a little fickle during really cold spells, don't cut back until spring to give the new growth some winter protection. Mulching will also help protect new growth during winter.
