Whiskers Deep Rose Appleblossom Grass (Gaura lindheimeri Whiskers Deep Rose PP26,399) is a very beautiful new Gaura cultivar. This compact grower has showy burgundy foliage and a profusion of deep pink flowers beginning in late spring and continuing all summer. Excellent for use in containers or in the front of the perennial border, 'Whiskers Deep Rose' is quite different from the tall white-flowered plants most commonly seen in the trade. Plant it in full, hot sun in garden loam for best performance. Leave standing over the winter months to improve its cold hardiness. Gaura is also commonly known as Wand Flower and Beeblossom.

"Timely shipment for my zone and pants were happy and healthy"
"Beautiful plant and I can't wait for it to bloom, but right now I'd like for it to stand up straight."
"The plant arrived with most of its soil dumped out. The plant now looks very dried out and I am not certain it will survive."
"These are my favorite flowers!! When they bloom the stems stick out and wave in the wind. So pretty!!"
"Ordered this plant as a host plant for White-lined sphinx caterpillars, this was the most attractive variety of Gaura here I thought. Received the plant in spring, and had a good amount of top growth upon arrival. Planted in a rock garden composed of a very fast draining sand/loam soil mixture, watered no more than twice a week at any point the first year, and it has seemed to respond well. It didn't start blooming till late summer this first growing season, but has achieved a greater size than listed on the site- 26""x16"". The blooms aren't the most attractive in the world in my opinion, and are very small, but when in full bloom(my photo is a little after it's best appearance) it adds a nice pop of a red pink mixture due to the color of the stems combined with the flowers, that is best seen with the eyes from a distance, and not through an up-close phone camera lens. Unfortunately have not seen any pollinators have interest in it so far."
"Bee attraction"
"Planted in spring. Started out small and thought it might die but this last month it exploded in blooms an doubled in size. It's petite and beautiful. Perfect for by the mailbox. Neighbors now stop when I'm out to ask about it."
"I was surprised how tiny the flowers are, but it did grow quickly after planting, and flowered quite well, just a few weeks after planting. Perhaps the flowers will be larger in its 2nd year. The flowers are a beautiful rose tone."
