Notes
'Siskiyou Pink' gaura (Oenothera lindheimeri 'Siskiyou Pink') is a perennial for borders, containers, and xeriscape gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. Airy, rose pink flowers float above a vase-shaped clump on arching reddish stems. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the blooms. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice.
Pairs well with Lemon thyme, Blue grama, and Rock rose.
