Gaura 'Pink Bouquet'

If The Bride is the white wedding dress, Gaura Pink Bouquet is the blushing bridesmaid. Deep raspberry-red wands open into clouds of soft, starry pink flowers that look exactly like a swarm of butterflies hovering over the foliage — dancing in the slightest breeze, weaving through companion plants, and flowering tirelessly from June until the first frosts.
