Oenothera lindheimeri Freefolk Rosy ('Harrfolk')
gaura ( syn. Gaura lindheimeri Freefolk Rosy )
Pink-edged creamy white flowers form in airy panicles, that sway and flutter in the breeze above the cream, green and purple variegated foliage. A beautiful new addition, that looks sublime when teamed with ornamental grasses. It is not too big either, so will also be quite happy in a pot provided it is kept well watered.
How to care for Oenothera lindheimeri Freefolk Rosy ('Harrfolk'):
Resist the temptation to cut back after the plant has flowered, as it often takes on beautiful autumn tints, particularly in cold weather. Cut back and divide large colonies in spring.
Please be aware that purplish-brown spotting can appear on gauras at certain times of the year and/or certain times in the plant's life cycle. This is not a disease but a physiological response to cold temperatures, and occurs when new growth has encountered unseasonably chilly conditions. It will not affect the plant's vigour or flowering potential and will often improve in warmer weather.
