Gaura Gaudi Compact Pink

Gaura Gaudi Compact Pink is a compact selection of Gaura noted for its airy wands of soft pink flowers held above neat, bushy green foliage. Flowering freely from early summer into early autumn, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making an excellent choice for sunny borders and containers in Ireland. Once established it copes well with drier conditions; avoid heavy, waterlogged ground, especially in winter. Deadhead to prolong the display and cut back in spring as new growth appears. Its long-lasting blooms are attractive to pollinators and suit informal, cottage-style planting.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
