Heh, Irma, only since no one is responding to your post, I'll tell you that my Gaura lindheimeri did not fare well over last winter.....................up here in Wisconsin! Big help, I know!

FWIW-and I know it's not much-mine was in super-well-drained location in my rock garden. We had a rare low-snow winter though, and that site is one of those places where wind currents, etc, tend to blow the snow off, not pile it on. Tough situation to say the least.

Hopefully, you'll get some meaningful replies.

Hi Irma

My gauras look good for some time only, after the blooms they look leggy and that is when I either take them out or cut them down. I have some in a flower bed that I planted last spring and now I cut them down since they did not look good anymore.
