Description

Gaura ‘Alba’ is a graceful flowering perennial with delicate white blooms that resemble fluttering butterflies. Its airy appearance makes it ideal for sunny borders, flower beds, and decorative pots.

💧 Watering

Water regularly while establishing. Once established, it tolerates dry conditions but benefits from occasional deep watering during Malta’s hot summers.

☀️ Light

Thrives in full sun. Well suited to Malta’s sunny climate and summer heat.

🍃 Foliage / Growth

Produces slender green stems with delicate white flowers from spring through autumn. Trim faded flower stems to encourage fresh growth and flowering.

🪴 Potting Mix

Prefers light, well-draining soil. Avoid heavy, waterlogged conditions.

🌿 Fertilizer

Apply a light dose of balanced fertilizer in spring. Excessive feeding can encourage weak, floppy growth.

🐕🐈 Pet Safety

Reliable toxicity information for cats and dogs is limited. Discourage pets from chewing the plant.

🌬️ Air Purifying

Primarily valued for its elegant flowers and ability to attract pollinators rather than air-purifying properties.
