It's unfortunate that stormy had a bad experience but our nursery grew this cultivar last year and the year before that and we love it! The foliage color is great and the plant is nice and compact. Over fertilization and excessively moist, heavy soil can lead to any Gaura being floppy. These babies thrive on neglect. Who could ask for anything more.
