Bantam® Pink - Gaura

Bantam® Pink is a compact gaura selection with medium-pink and white flowers above a low mound of foliage. Its modest height and spreading habit suit sunny perennial borders, edging, and patio containers. ## Garden Use Plan for a mature height of 12 to 16 inches and a spread of 18 to 22 inches, as listed for this selection by [Lucas Greenhouses](https://www.lucasgreenhouses.com/plant/Gaura-lindheimeri-Bantam-Pink). The light flower stems add movement along a path or at the front of a mixed planting. The plant is sold under the Bantam® series name; retain the registered product code when matching stock to this selection. ## Growing Conditions Choose a sunny site with well-drained soil. The listed hardiness range is USDA Zones 5 through 10. Allow the soil surface to dry slightly between waterings after the plant is established; [Waldecks’ Bantam Pink listing](https://www.waldecks.com.au/products/gaura-bantam-pink) describes gaura as drought tolerant once established and suitable for borders and containers. ## Maintenance Water consistently during establishment, then reduce irrigation when growth is settled. Remove old stems in early spring as new growth begins. Avoid planting in persistently wet soil, and allow enough room for the mound to spread without crowding nearby plants.
