Butterfly Gaura

A resilient native native Texas herbaceous that provides year-round foliage and structure to the landscape. Native across the Gulf Coast Prairies and Marshes and Western Gulf Coastal Plain, Butterfly Gaura (Oenothera lindheimeri) thrives in local conditions while supporting the surrounding ecosystem. During spring, summer, and fall, the plant produces delightfully fragrant, pink, white flower clusters. Flowering gives way to ornamental capsules that ripen through summer and autumn. The species provides essential habitat and food, supporting Bees, Butterflies, Hummingbirds, and Moths. Thriving in calcareous, clay, loam, moist, and sand, Butterfly Gaura demonstrates outstanding hardiness once established. It requires minimal supplemental water and adapts seamlessly to drought conditions. It features moderate deer resistance.
