Only one plug plant survived despite all my care. It is just starting to bloom! Very disappointed with my order of annual plug plants, as they all either languished or died.

Description

Gaura 'Lollipop Pink' forms a compact and ramified bush, ideal for pots and containers. It covers its red stems with abundant dark pink flowers over dark foliage shaded with purple, and its growth is rapid. Although short-lived this plant is both elegant and proud, indispensable in the flower garden. Ideal in not too dry to moist, or even poor soil, in the sun.

Gaura linddheimeri Lollipop Pink belongs to the family Onagraceae and is a cousin of evening primrose. Gaura lindheimeri is native to the area on the border between Mexico and the United States (the prairies and pine forests of Louisiana and Texas). One of the most floriferous plants, 'Lollipop Pink' has a compact and bushy habit. Forming a clump from a rosette, this perennial is of modest size for a gaura, not exceeding 40 cm (15.7 in) in height, with a spread of 30 cm (11.8 in). Its branching dark red floral stems, very numerous and slender, give the plant its bushy appearance. Flowering takes place in successive waves, from mid-spring to autumn. The flowers, resembling butterflies, are grouped in paniculate spikes of 30 cm (11.8 in) in length, of bright pink washed with dark pink. The foliage is novel. The lamina of each leaf is dark green, shaded with purple or mauve. These small lanceolate leaves are downy on both sides. The plant has a taproot that allows it to anchor itself in poor or even rocky soils.

Gauras have quickly become the stars of urban flowerbeds and gardens. This success is explained by their incredible abundance of flowers and the speed with which they develop. These plants, which seem unperturbed by the wind, quickly become indispensable for anyone who has tried them for a season. Wherever they are planted they bring lightness and grace. Gaura lindheimeri 'Lollipop Pink' has its place in the foreground of herbaceous borders or flowerbeds. It goes well with roses, grown between shrubs like abelias and deutzias, or accompanying frugal perennials like daylilies, catmints, Scabiosa Moon Dance, Asclepias Ice Ballet, and Oenothera versicolor. This compact and floriferous little gaura is ideal for dressing up containers and pots.

Note: Please be aware that our young plants sold in mini plugs are professional products intended for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, transplant and store them under cover (veranda, greenhouse, frame) at a temperature above 14°C for a few weeks, before being placed outdoors once all risk of frost has passed.

Planting and care

As long as it is very well-drained, Gaura 'Lollipop Pink' is not picky about the soil which can even be poor, and occasionally dry. The only enemy of this plant is stagnant humidity - a bigger threat than even the cold. If necessary improve drainage by incorporating materials such as gravel and river sand. In these conditions it will live for several years. Pruning is essential after each wave of flowering to facilitate the emergence of new shoots that will bloom in turn. With this method, multiple flowerings can be achieved from June until Halloween without interruption (do not prune all the clumps in the garden at the same time). Pruning at the start of growth (March-April) will give the plant a harmonious shape.
