(September 7th) Hi this is Steve at Prairie Moon Nursery. I’m standing in a field of the Biennial Gaura (Gaura biennis). It’s a great late-season species. This is early September and it’s really in its full bloom. It kind of fits in that last show of blooms before the true fall species start coming out. It’s very attractive for butterflies and bees also and will adapt to a lot different types of soils from almost wet to very dry.



Had some show up spontaneously in an old pasture/field edge but it has not prospered. How does it like fire? What can I do to encourage it?
