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!

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
