Description

Gaura lindheimeri ‘Siskiyou Pink’ is a graceful, long-blooming perennial prized for its tall, airy spikes of soft pink flowers that emerge from deep burgundy buds. This vigorous selection forms a bushy mound of narrow, lance-shaped, dark green leaves with attractive burgundy to maroon tints, especially on new growth and stems. From late spring through summer and into fall, it produces slender, wand-like, branching stems bearing an abundance of small, four-petaled, soft pink flowers with a delicate, ethereal appearance, fluttering in the breeze like tiny butterflies. The flowers open from striking, deep reddish-pink buds, creating a beautiful bicolor effect. Exceptionally drought-tolerant, heat-tolerant, and deer-resistant, it is an outstanding choice for sunny borders, cottage gardens, meadows, mass plantings, containers, and pollinator gardens.
