Gaura lindheimeri Geyser Stratosphere White

Common Name:
Gaura 'Geyser Stratosphere White'

Description:
Gaura lindheimeri 'Geyser Stratosphere White' is a refined, compact variety of Gaura celebrated for its pure white, butterfly-like blooms and upright growth habit. This elegant perennial offers a long flowering period, with masses of delicate white flowers appearing from late spring right through to autumn. Held above slender green stems, the blooms flutter in the breeze, creating a light, airy effect in borders and mixed plantings. Ideal for Melbourne gardens, this cultivar thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, and it performs well in both garden beds and containers. Its drought and heat tolerance make it an excellent choice for low-maintenance, water-wise landscapes. ‘Geyser Stratosphere White’ maintains a tidier, more compact form than traditional Gaura, making it perfect for smaller spaces or where structure and neatness are preferred. Trim back lightly after flowering to maintain its shape and encourage further blooming.
