If you’ve ever walked through a field full of these native Gaura plants, you would remember their delicious, sweet scent as well as their beauty. There are several species and hybrids of Gaura, but I think this particular one is (Gaura biennis). Also known as beeblossom, this plant is native to North America.¹

This is not the kind of plant you’d want for tidy, neat beds. If you want to have these at home, you’ll need a large area where you are going for the “wild” look. They are absolutely gorgeous en masse. I had the pleasure of walking along a path through of sea of these in full bloom, standing 5-6ft tall. Since these plants are biennial, I may not get to see them next year – but I’ll sure be looking for them. Enjoy!
