It blooms just for a season early on and then it is gonePeacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09908538604699068337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315847063483821430.post-20173563841047992412016-06-03T15:10:35.565-07:002016-06-03T15:10:35.565-07:00It's a fantastic plant, isn't it?

Very unfortunate, since it would be a splendid addition otherwise. Another blogger told me her experience was similar. Best to just enjoy it in the garden, I guess ;-) Thanks so much!Amy@SmallSunnyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490564566463354419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315847063483821430.post-15339880687444796662016-06-03T15:06:49.733-07:002016-06-03T15:06:49.733-07:00Thanks so much, Christina!

So sorry I'm replying this late - somehow I lost track of comments here, and then we had very limited internet access, so now I'm (hopefully) catching up a bit! Very glad to see your note on the seedlings too :)Amy@SmallSunnyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490564566463354419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315847063483821430.post-15181117535070150332016-06-03T15:04:13.192-07:002016-06-03T15:04:13.192-07:00It's hard to think of this as an Oenothera any...It's hard to think of this as an Oenothera anyway, so I'm just waiting for them to change it back LOL! I've been so pleased with this particular variety; I really wish I knew which it is. Enjoy yours :)Amy@SmallSunnyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490564566463354419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315847063483821430.post-49948402483655724132016-05-31T17:01:49.325-07:002016-05-31T17:01:49.325-07:00Amy, I love how you have described this plant from...Amy, I love how you have described this plant from the point of view of its foliage. It really is such a lovely plant for the hot garden. I really enjoy this in my own garden but I particularly like the color of this mahogany leaved one. I believe you have used this in an arrangement? Any idea as to its vase life? Gorgeous photos as always :-))Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01080194896492043939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315847063483821430.post-3179302567293584782016-05-22T20:44:39.566-07:002016-05-22T20:44:39.566-07:00I didn't know Gaura had been reclassified! Oh...I didn't know Gaura had been reclassified! Oh, when will this name changing ever stop?! The Gaura/Oenothera is pretty. I planted one of the red-foliaged forms this year myself.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315847063483821430.post-18108247092417949842016-05-22T12:10:37.841-07:002016-05-22T12:10:37.841-07:00I agree completely that looking at the foliage of ...I agree completely that looking at the foliage of plants we choose for flowers is a great idea. Flowers on their own make only part of the contribution. I grow Gaura too for its drought tolerant qualities. When there are lots of new seedlings it is great that the ones that will be pink have different coloured foliage, it makes choosing which ones to keep much easier.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
