Fresh Seeds of Gaura lindheimeri syn. Oenothera lindheimeri (Whirling Butterflies / Beeblossom) with full instructions for germination.

A beautiful, fully frost hardy, herbaceous perennial native to Texas and Louisiana, growing to clumps of 3-4 ft tall and 2-3 ft wide.

Soft, airy, lance-shaped foliage contrasts beautifully with delicate bright white or pink-tinged white flowers held on long thin stems.

The flowers resemble fluttering butterflies and the plants fit perfectly within gaps in herbaceous borders, looking particularly great within wild, meadow-style or cottage-style gardens.

Exceptionally long flowering period from early summer to autumn — and highly attractive to bees, butterflies and other pollinators.

Fully Frost hardy.
