A beautiful, compact perennial, Gaura 'Sparkle White' (also called Beeblossom) is highly regarded for its delicate, star-shaped white flowers and delicate, feathery leaves.  This hardy beauty is perfect for rock gardens, containers, and areas where pollinators are welcome since it requires little care but produces stunning results in full sun and soil that drains well.  Its small, verdant leaves make a neat, compact mound, providing a smooth surface for the many, delicate blooms that droop like butterflies from slender stalks.  As they mature, the blossoms go from a brilliant white when they first open to a delicate pink, producing a kaleidoscope of color that lasts all the way until early September.  The delightful perfume that wafts from Gaura 'Sparkle White' adds to its allure and makes it a perfect choice for pathways and patios.  This plant is not only deer-resistant and pet-friendly, but it also attracts a wide variety of pollinators, including bees and butterflies.

 The Gaura 'Sparkle White' requires very little maintenance once it has taken root since it is both long-lived and drought-tolerant.  Perfect for time-pressed gardeners or as a thoughtful present for those who value understated beauty and long-term functionality in outdoor settings.  Choose a spot with plenty of sunshine and soil that drains well before planting.  Plant the seedling in a hole that is twice as wide as the root ball and lower the crown to the earth.  After a thorough watering after planting, keep the soil consistently wet until the plant is well-established, at which point it will withstand periods of dry weather with grace.  Mulch is a great way to keep soil wet and lessen the amount of competition from weeds.  It is not necessary to deadhead spent flowers, although doing so will stimulate continuing blossoming.  To encourage bushy growth, softly prune in the early spring.  In order to prepare for the next blooming season, use a balanced slow-release fertilizer sparingly in the spring.  Gaura 'Sparkle White' is an exquisite choice for any outdoor space because to its elegant shape, resilient performance, and easygoing personality.
