Gauras have gained worldwide popularity not only because they are so pretty on a breezy, sunny day in the garden, but also because they are so easy to grow. The Rosy series is a larger, more traditional style of Gaura with quite tall flowers of bright white and cherry pink in a picotee pattern. The foliage of Gaura 'Rosy Jane'(PBR) is a delight with its bright green leaves freckled with pink and brown which become more prominent in cooler regions.
Gaura 'Rosy Jane'(PBR) has been granted the status of Plant Breeder Rights (PBR) as indicated by the (PBR) symbol.
Gauras are lovely along a sunny fence, in garden beds, and in pots on patios, terraces and balconies. A pot of a single Gaura 'Rosy Jane'(PBR) is a delight by a garden setting and draws the eye in combination plantings in larger pots when placed in the background or centre. Fresh cut flowers placed in little vases make for whimsical posies indoors.
Basic care for Gaura will give you many years of pleasure. After preparing your garden soil or premium potting mix, plant your Gaura and water in well, not forgetting to mulch away from the stems. Very little water is needed once established in a garden bed, but always keep moist but well-drained even when established in containers. Remove spent flowers regularly to keep your Gaura looking its best, but be ready for it to look a little shabby after several months of heavy flowering, at which point it is time for a heavy prune. Remove all the top growth off leaving the crown, which may seem drastic, and will give wonderful results when you apply a balanced fertiliser before watering in lightly.
Wear gloves & wash hands after gardening.
