Gaura 'Siskiyou Pink' - This is a wispy, upright 2 foot high, 2 foot wide perennial from the Southwest U.S.. The stalkless leaves and flowers grow directly on the stems. Rose-pink flowers bloom in the spring through fall. It does best in full sun with occasional watering. Cut back flower stalks for repeat bloom. It is hardy to about 15-20 degrees F. The most recent treatment of the genus Gaura places them as a section within the Evening Primroses as a Oenothera species but continue to list this plant under Gaura until such time that this name change becomes more widely accepted so as to not confuse our customers or our staff. We grew this plant from 1998 until 2007 - A fun little plant but does not seem long lived in our climate.
The information about Gaura 'Siskiyou Pink' that is displayed on this web page is based on research conducted in our nursery's horticultural library and from reliable online resources.
