Why you need this plant:        This variety is clump-forming, vase-shaped and growing to 4-5' on rigid stems.  An extremely tall plant for the species.  Flowers emerge white then turn pink.

 
Planting Info:       May self seed but seedlings will be regular green-leafed gauras.  Dislikes being divided because the long taproot is too easily broken.  Best way to propagate is by stem cuttings.  Softwood or semi-hardened cuttings can be rooted spring or summer (assisted with a rooting hormone).  Stems will root in four-six weeks.  Best started in pots to reduce transplant injury.
