Gaura (Beeblossoms)

Gaura, commonly known as beeblossom, brings movement and life to gardens with its delicate, swaying stems. This hardy perennial thrives in sunny spots and well-drained soil, making it a low-maintenance choice for UK gardeners.

The airy blooms of Gaura lindheimeri attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators from early summer through autumn. Its long flowering period provides a reliable nectar source when other plants fade. The slender stems offer shelter for small insects, while seed heads feed birds in colder months.

Plant Gaura in borders or wildflower meadows to support local wildlife. Its open structure allows pollinators easy access, and its drought tolerance suits changing UK summers.
