Gaura lindheimeri ‘Sparkle White’
Gaura Sparkle White is a compact, free-flowering perennial that produces hundreds of delicate pure white blooms held on slender stems above neat green foliage. The flowers flutter in the slightest breeze, creating the appearance of white butterflies dancing through the garden from late spring until autumn.
With its long flowering season, drought tolerance and low-maintenance nature, Gaura Sparkle White is perfect for cottage gardens, mixed borders, containers and modern landscape plantings.

How to establish your Gaura Sparkle White?
How to establish your Gaura Sparkle White?
Position: Full sun is best (more flowers, sturdier growth). Light shade is okay, but it may flower less.
Soil: Prefers free-draining soil. If you’ve got heavier clay, plant into a raised area or improve drainage with grit/compost.
Watering (first season): Water deeply 1–2 times a week until established (more often in hot, windy weather). After that, it’s fairly drought-tolerant.
Spacing: Give it room for airflow — it looks best and stays healthier when not crowded.
How to maintain your Gaura Sparkle White once established?
How to maintain your Gaura Sparkle White once established?
Trim for repeat flowering: A light shear after a big flush can encourage a fresh wave of blooms.
End-of-season tidy: In late winter/early spring, cut back old stems to make way for new growth.
Feeding: Not a heavy feeder — a light spring feed or a compost top-up is plenty.
Wet winters note: In colder, wetter spots, the main “risk” is soggy soil — drainage is the key to keeping Gaura Sparkle White thriving.
