Gaura lindheimeri Summer Breeze

Gaura lindheimeri 'Summer Breeze' is a graceful, free-flowering perennial known for its airy habit and soft pink to white star-shaped blooms. The delicate flowers are carried on slender, wiry stems that sway in the breeze, giving the plant a light, fluttering presence in the garden. Narrow, lance-shaped green leaves form a low mound, while the tall flower spikes add vertical movement and texture.

It performs beautifully in mixed borders, containers, and prairie-style gardens, attracting bees and butterflies throughout its long blooming period.
