Siskiyou Pink Gaura cultivar is an erect clump-forming perennial which typically grows 2-3 feet tall on rigid wiry stems. It features 4-petaled butterfly-like flowers which emerge rose pink from deep maroon buds. The flowers appear in open panicles blooming several at a time over a long spring to autumn bloom time. Siskiyou Pink has narrow lance-shaped leaves without stalks that are mottled with maroon color. It makes a good edging plant and is also excellent for cut flowers. Siskiyou Pink Gaura prefers sun to partial shade conditions.
