Oenothera lindheimeri ‘Whirling Butterflies’

Whirling Butterflies Gaura is a graceful herbaceous perennial known for its white blooms that stand atop the foliage resembling butterflies in the breeze. This plant grows up to 2 feet tall and about 2 feet wide, forming a loose, airy clump of slender green stems and narrow leaves. From summer  through fall, it produces a profusion of small white flowers, creating an ever-changing, fluttering effect.

  • Herbaceous perennial
  • Moderate to fast growth rate
  • Long stems with narrow green foliage and delicate white blooms
  • Ideal for mixed beds, borders, or containers

Whirling Butterflies Gaura prefers full sun and well-drained soil, but tolerates heat and drought once established. Deadheading spent flowers encourages continuous blooming, and trimming in late winter helps maintain shape and vigor. It's hardy in zones 5-9, making it perfect for most Texas flower beds and containers.
