Gaura Lindheimeri 'Ellura', 5L
£25.00
notes
This Gaura with its clusters of starry pink and white blooms borne in panicles on upright stems, brings to mind butterflies dancing on the wind. This is rather apt as the long flowering perennial is highly attractive to native pollinators and is wonderful in slightly unkempt, naturalistic plantings.

- Pot size: 5L
- Height and Spread: 60cm (1ft 11in) x 40cm (1ft 4in) after 2-5 years
