Gaura Sparkle White
2014 AAS Bedding Plant Winner
Gaura Sparkle White

Sparkle White gaura will bring a touch of airy elegance to the garden with its long slender stems sporting a large number of dainty white flowers tinged with a pink blush. This beauty is perfect mass planted in sun-drenched landscape beds, in groupings with other perennials or in larger containers.

Home gardeners will appreciate that this season-long bloomer also has excellent heat tolerance and a more uniform flowering habit than other seed gauras. Commercial growers can utilize Sparkle White as a first-year flowering perennial or as an annual, showing its wide range of uses.

Sparkle White is also the recipient of the Fleuroselect Gold Medal award for performance in European trials.

    The Sparkle White Gaura has large white flowers and creates texture in the garden with the long stems. It seems to be a tough plant, able to handle long periods of heat. Zone 6a

  2. Carly

    This is an excellent plant! It develops very strong roots and creates a tuber/corm. I am in Mid Ohio, Zone 5 and this plant was left accidently in the garden in multiple areas and came back hardier than anything! Very hardy plant and the pollinators love it!
