This is exactly what I need to know. Gaura with its wispy stems that dance in the garden simply take my breath away. Thank you!!

Thank You for this video we bought 2 just before winter ready for this year. With the cold weather we’ve just had ( in Portishead, about 10 days) it looks quite dead but listening to what you have said I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it will come back. Brill video! 🌸

I was at one of my local nurseries here in Olympia, Washington last month and stumbled across this beautiful plant. I bought three of them; two I put in big pots and one is going in the ground. So thankful to have this information.

I wish I'd found this a couple of years ago. I thought mine died after it's first winter. I didn't cut mine back at all. Luckily I waited to see what happened and it came right back. I trimmed back the twiggy growth after it bloomed again. Love Guara give it enough sun and it seems to stay pretty happy.

Excellent tutorial! Thank you so much.

Thank you for posting this very helpful information. I just received one from my sister that has brown stems. I've planted it and will cut back the stems in late February/early March in hopes of having beautiful blooms after that.

Awesome! I'm in love with Gauras yet I know so little about them and I really find it VERY HARD to trim, in fact butcher, all these wonderful stems dancing so gracefully in the air-OMG how am I going to part from them? It gives me the chills already...Yet I will absolutely do whatever's good for my Gauras. And I place MY TRUST in you Rosy. Thank you very much from Greece!
