Additional Information: Large-Flowered Gaura is a tall, graceful wildflower known for its delicate pink to white blooms that flutter in the breeze and open in succession along slender stems. It thrives in hot, dry conditions and poor soils, making it an excellent choice for prairie gardens, meadows, and naturalized areas. The flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, especially in the evening when blossoms are most active. Its loose, wispy form adds movement and height to native plantings, and its tolerance for drought and tough conditions makes it a low-maintenance and reliable choice for Oklahoma landscapes.
