Gaura 'Emmeline Pink Bouquet' is a beautifully airy perennial that brings movement, elegance, and a long season of colour to the garden. Masses of delicate blush-pink flowers flutter above slender burgundy-red stems, creating the effect of a cloud of dancing butterflies from early summer through to autumn.
 
Unlike heavier border plants, Gaura adds a light, naturalistic feel to planting schemes, weaving effortlessly between roses, salvias, grasses, cosmos, and other cottage garden favourites. Its graceful habit makes it invaluable for softening borders, adding height without bulk, and creating that sought-after relaxed garden style seen in many contemporary planting designs.
 
A magnet for bees and pollinators, 'Emmeline Pink Bouquet' performs exceptionally well in sunny borders, containers, and cut flower gardens. The long stems can also be harvested for airy, delicate bouquet work where they add movement and texture to arrangements.
 
When to Sow: Sep  & Feb - June
 
HOW TO SOW GAURA THE BRIDE :
Sow thinly on the surface of moist seed compost and cover very lightly with vermiculite or compost. They do not like to be buried deep.  Keep the tray at 15–20°C until germination,  which can sometimes be erratic. Once seedlings are large enough to handle, prick them out and pot them on. Harden off gradually before planting outside after the last frost.
