• Gaura is relatively pest and disease-resistant, but keep an eye out for common garden pests like aphids and treat them promptly if they appear.
• Tall varieties of Gaura may benefit from staking or support in windy areas to prevent them from flopping over.
• You can propagate Gaura through division or by collecting and planting seeds.
• Gaura is a low-maintenance plant that will reward you with beautiful white blooms throughout the growing season.
