Karalee Petite Pink Gaura (Gaura lindheimeri 'DGAUR137' KARALEE PETITE PINK)
GAR-ah lind-HY-mer-eye 'DGAUR137' KARALEE PETITE PINK

Deciduous Perennial (usually grown as an annual near you) Upright, Clump-Forming in the Onagraceae Family
A compact Gaura bred for small spaces, with a steady flush of pink flowers from late spring through fall.

Karalee® Petite Pink (‘DGAUR137’) is a compact Gaura lindheimeri bred by Danziger for a dwarf, tidy habit well suited to small gardens and containers. From late spring into fall, slender stems carry a continuous flush of pink flowers above narrow green foliage, without the floppy, open habit of larger Gaura cultivars.

Pros

  • Compact, tidy habit smaller than most Gaura cultivars
  • Continuous flush of pink flowers from late spring through fall
  • Well suited to small gardens, edging, and containers
  • Attracts pollinators and needs little deadheading

Cons

  • Patented cultivar — won't come true from seed and can't be propagated for sale
  • Prone to root rot in heavy or poorly drained soil
  • Reported by some growers as less drought tolerant than larger Gaura cultivars — prefers average, not dry, moisture
This plant may be mostly winter-hardy outdoors where you live, but it may need protection to survive extreme weather.
Highlights Continuous Bloom or Rebloomer Long Blooming Heat Tolerant Deadheading Not Necessary

Field-Grown vs. Greenhouse-Grown Plants

Plants which are well-adapted to our local climate are most often field-grown (outside). Field-grown plants are generally cheaper and have the advantage of already somewhat acclimated to our cold winters, but that means they’re not artificially far along in the spring and tend to bloom at the normal time in our area.

Spring annuals and tender perennials are typically grown in Greenhouses so they can be ready and luxurious exactly when customers want them. Some perennials are also “forced” into early bloom in greenhouses. In May, there can be a very big difference between field-grown and greenhouse-grown plants of the same type. The latter typically look good right away (so they’re a great choice where that’s important), but we typically pay a premium for it.

We order from a rotating cast of the best nurseries in the Great Lakes region. It looks like we've offered this plant in the past, but the nurseries we're working with this week don't appear to have it in stock at the moment.

Our goal is to bring as many plants together under "one roof" as possible, so we'll try hard to make it available again in the future!
