Pure white 4-petaled blossoms with sparkling centers adorn slender, loosely arranged flower wands like luminous butterflies on a breeze. Hailing from an Australian nursery, this compact low growing Gaura promotes a willowy habit of narrow green leaves and green stems, which adds relaxed accents to nearby plants such as Aster ‘Bridal Veil’ and Artemisia ‘Valerie Finnis’.
