Ready to plant

Gaura lindheimeri (also known by the scientific name Oenothera lindheimeri or by the nickname Orchid Flower) is a perennial herbaceous plant with a sophisticated and very elegant appearance.

The basal rosette, arranged in a starburst pattern, is composed of green foliage irregularly flecked with red. This rosette remains evergreen in the milder areas of our country.

Features

From the basal rosette of the Gaura plant rise long, slender stems that in late spring become covered with lovely white-pink butterfly-shaped flowers. The flowering lasts for many months, sometimes extending into early autumn.

The foliage along the stems is deciduous in winter, and you can intervene with a drastic pruning of the Gaura at the end of winter to promote vegetative recovery and increase the subsequent flowering.

The light and romantic air of the Gaura lindheimeri makes it the perfect plant for creating highly scenographic arrangements, especially in windy areas. To maximize this effect, you can opt for good pairings for Gaura, such as with the golden tufts of Stipa tenuissima, with the beautiful flowering of Perovskia atriplicifolia or with the exotic charm of Agapanthus africanus. A pairing of this type will give color and movement to a beautiful perennial plant border.

From late spring until early autumn, the slender stems are covered with pretty white-pink butterfly-shaped flowers, for a very prolonged flowering period.

The foliage along the stems is deciduous; late winter is the recommended time for severe pruning to promote vegetative regrowth and subsequent flowering. It is also suitable for windy areas.

It pairs beautifully with the golden plumes of Stipa tenuissima, the blooms of Perovskia atriplicifolia, or the exotic charm of Agapanthus africanus, adding colour and movement to a perennial border.

WHAT MAKES OUR PLANTS DIFFERENT

Long anti-spiraling vases

A traditional lawn is a fragile monoculture: it drinks thousands of liters of water every summer, needs mowing every week, and turns yellow as soon as you neglect it. An alternative lawn turns this logic on its head: instead of grasses, we use Mediterranean groundcovers selected in our nursery—low, dense, and hardy plants, born for hot and dry climates.

The result is a green, walkable carpet that blooms for months, withstands drought, salt spray, and frost, and reduces watering and maintenance by 80%. It is not an aesthetic compromise: it is a more beautiful, more vibrant lawn that is more honest with the environment.
