Barb, You will get much much more than $7.00 worth of bloom out your gallon
Gaura. It is one of my favorites. It goes with everything and blooms
continuously here from early June until Thanksgiving. My clump is about 10
years old and has hundreds of white dancing butterfly flowers on it on any
given day. There are 2 new hybrids on the market now. G. 'Siskiyou Pink'
(candy pink flowers) and G. 'Corrie's Gold' ( green and gold leaf). Both
are wonderful although I have not grown them long enough to vouch for their
hardiness.
