Rosyjane Wand Flower

Gaura (syn Oenothera) lindheimeri 'Rosyjane'

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Onagraceae
Plant Description: This herbaceous perennial is a long bloomer. Throughout the summer months delicate, white flowers edged in pink bloom on tall, thin stems creating a wispy, airy look. Butterflies will enjoy the blossoms as well. ‘Rosyjane’ has a slightly more compact habit compared to other Gaura plants. In cooler climates, the leaves can develop hints of red.

Maintenance:

Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
