GAURA SO WHITE - Medium- z 6-9. A compact selection with a massive display of bright white flowers through the summer.

General Information:
Vase shaped plant that blooms from late spring until fall. Flowers all along the stands of erect crowded stems. Will thrive in high heat and humdity areas. Very nice, all will need winter protection in far northern states.

Plant Care:
Very tolerant of heat and drought. Needs good winter drainage. Very airy habit responds to cutting back by one half when 12-15 inches tall to control height. Deep tap root dislikes transplanting. Allow some self-sowing if desired.
