Gaura lindheimeri ‘Siskiyou Pink’ (also known as Saudi Rose) is an enchanting perennial known for its delicate appearance and long-lasting blooms, perfect for UK gardens. Growing up to 60-90 cm in height, it forms airy mounds of slender stems topped with abundant clusters of butterfly-like pink flowers from early summer through to autumn. These blooms sway gracefully in the breeze, adding movement and charm to borders, cottage gardens, or containers.

This variety thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, tolerating dry conditions once established. It benefits from a position where it receives plenty of sunlight throughout the day. ‘Siskiyou Pink’ requires minimal pruning; deadheading spent flowers encourages continuous blooming and maintains a tidy appearance.

Feed ‘Siskiyou Pink’ with a balanced fertilizer in early spring to promote healthy growth and prolific flowering throughout the season. Its nectar-rich flowers are highly attractive to bees and other pollinators, making it a valuable addition to wildlife-friendly gardens. By planting ‘Siskiyou Pink’, you not only enhance your garden with its ethereal blooms and graceful form but also contribute to the support of local pollinator populations, promoting biodiversity and ecological balance in your outdoor space.
