Gaura lindheimeri BELLEZA® White (Beeblossom)

Noted for its excellent branching and short flower stems, Gaura lindheimeri BELLEZA® White (Beeblossom) is a bushy, clump-forming perennial with graceful stems studded with airy-looking, star-shaped, white flowers.

Adding an interesting fine texture in the garden with its flowers dancing and dangling above the red-tinged foliage, Gaura lindheimeri BELLEZA® White is excellent for mixed perennial borders and is an ideal choice for containers. Performs well in high humidity and extreme heat.
