Steffi™ Dark Rose Gaura (also called wand flower) is a bright, breezy perennial that brings months of vibrant color with airy spikes packed in deep rose-pink blooms. Its bushy, rounded form stays tidy and full, making it perfect for sunny borders, waterwise cottage-style beds, rock gardens, and patio containers. Plant it in full sun and well-drained soil, let the soil dry slightly between waterings, and enjoy a long bloom season from late spring into early fall with graceful movement in every breeze.
Plant Description
A compact, bushy gaura with dense green foliage and upright flower spikes covered in dark rose-pink blooms. Designed for long-season performance in sunny gardens.
Flowers & Bloom Time
Produces abundant dark rose-pink flowers from late spring through early fall for extended seasonal color.
Habit & Size
Moderate growing; typically reaches 18 to 24 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide, forming a rounded, well-branched mound.
Sun & Exposure
Full sun is best for the strongest stems and most prolific flowering. Choose a bright, open spot for peak performance.
Watering
Allow soil to dry slightly before watering. Water deeply and regularly during the first growing season to establish roots; reduce frequency once established.
Soil & Drainage
Prefers average to enriched, well-drained soil. Good drainage supports overwintering and keeps plants vigorous and upright.
Heat & Drought Tolerance
Excellent tolerance of heat and moderate drought once established, making it a strong choice for waterwise and sunny landscapes.
Pollinators & Wildlife
Attracts pollinators and adds lively garden activity through the bloom season. Often avoided by deer and rabbits.
Pruning & Deadheading
Remove spent flowers to promote continued bloom. Hard prune and apply a general-purpose fertilizer before new growth begins in spring.
Landscape Uses
Great for sunny rock gardens, borders, and containers. Use as a colorful accent, or plant in repeating groups for a long-blooming ribbon of color.
Companion Planting
Pairs beautifully with ornamental grasses and sun-loving perennials. Try combining with switch grass, phlox, penstemon, bellflower, or iris for layered texture and season-long interest.
