Plant Care Instructions

2. Watering: Water moderately, allowing the top inch of soil to dry between waterings. Avoid overwatering, as Gaura tolerates brief dry spells.

3. Soil Type: Thrives in well-draining, sandy or loamy soil. Amend heavy soils with sand or compost for improved drainage.

4. Temperature & Hardiness Zone: Hardy to Zone 3b; tolerates temperatures down to -37°C (-35°F). Protect from late spring frosts.

5. Fertilizer: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring and once again mid-season for robust growth.

7. Special Notes: Non-toxic to pets. No special overwintering required, but mulch can help protect roots in colder areas.
