Growing Steffi White Gaura

Light: Full sun; thrives in heat and produces the most abundant, sturdy blooms with strong, direct sunlight.

Soil: Well‑drained soil of any texture; highly adaptable but prefers sandy or loamy soils and requires excellent drainage to prevent winter rot.

Water: Low to moderate; water regularly until established, then highly drought‑tolerant due to its deep taproot. Allow soil to dry between waterings.

Maintenance: Deadheading is optional but trimming back spent flower spikes can encourage a tidier habit and continuous blooming. Cut the plant back by half in midsummer if it becomes leggy, and prune down to the crown in late winter or early spring.

Wildlife: Highly attractive to butterflies and bees; deer‑ and rabbit‑resistant.

Hardiness: Perennial in USDA zones 5–9; requires excellent winter drainage for reliable survival in cooler climates.
