Description

Light and airy with a delicate charm, Gaura lindheimeri ‘White’ (also known as Whirling Butterflies) brings graceful movement to borders and containers alike. With dainty, star-shaped white blooms that flutter in the breeze on slender stems, it creates a soft, meadow-like feel in even the smallest urban spaces. Beautiful when paired with ornamental grasses, lavender, or salvia for a relaxed, naturalistic style that thrives in South London sunshine.
