    KARALEE PETITE PINK WAND FLOWER

    GAURA LINDHEIMERI KARALEE PETITE PINK

    Karalee Petite Pink gaura, or wand flower, is a social butterfly in the garden for a few reasons. Its pink flowers look like butterflies, for one thing. Another reason is its habit; with its low foliage and taller stems of flowers, this perennial is best grown in swaths or mixed in among other garden plants, among which its wands can thread and mingle. Lastly, this plant is a social butterfly because it draws attention! Its bright color and the movement of its airy flower stems in the slightest breeze beckon garden visitors to take a closer look.

    HABIT: This perennial gaura grows just 14 to 20 inches tall and 12 to 18 inches wide. It has an upright shape.

    A selection of, a species native to Texas and Louisiana.
