Oenothera lindheimeri, previously known as Gaura lindheimeri, is commonly grown as an ornamental plant – for its long blooming season, its superb white or pink flowers and its airy stature.
It is used in either garden beds or pots for accent colour and a delicate texture.
It grows best in full sun and can survive lengthy periods of drought.
👩🌾GARDENING TIPS👩🌾:
-
- Removing dead flowers will promote new growth.
- If the flower stems tend to become leggy and flop (often a problem if the soil is too rich), then plant them closer together or next to a tall Sedum or a Persicaria to give them support.
The Tale
Oenothera: it is believed to be derived from the Greek words οίνος θήρα (oinos thera) meaning “wine seeker”.
-
- This may be a reference to the red veins that you can see in the flowers – whether they are pink or ivory white. Or just to the delightful journey of seeking wine.
Gaura: from Greek γαῦρος (gaûros) meaning “superb”.
-
- The previous genus to which the plant belonged – probably a reference to the stature and floral display of some species in this genus.
The specific epithet is after Ferdinand Jacob Lindheimer, a German-born botanist who collected extensively in Texas.
