Notes
'Stratosphere Pink Picotee' gaura (Oenothera lindheimeri 'Stratosphere Pink Picotee') is an annual for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and pollinator gardens. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows in a clump and tolerates drought. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. Flowers open from early to late summer and again in early to late autumn, and butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit them.
Pairs well with Blue-eyed grass, Ornamental onion, and Japanese forest grass.
