{"product_id":"bishy-barnabees-cottage-garden-gaura-pink-bouquet","title":"Gaura 'Pink Bouquet'","description":"\u003cp\u003eSoft pink four-petalled flowers scattered along slender arching stems so fine that the plant seems to be all flower and no structure. The common name is whirling butterflies and it earns it; the smallest breeze sets the whole thing trembling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts real job is softening. Put it in front of something blocky, echinacea, echinops or dahlias, and the airy stems throw a veil across the rigid shapes and make the whole planting look less arranged. Very few perennials do that, and fewer do it from June right through to October.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt comes from the prairies of Texas and Louisiana, and its requirements follow from that. It is thoroughly drought-tolerant once established and will grow happily in a pot that gets forgotten. What kills it is a wet winter in heavy ground. In a well-drained sunny spot it is reliably hardy here; in cold clay it rots at the crown and does not come back, so if that is your soil, grow it in a container. It also breaks dormancy very late in spring, so do not write it off in April.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bishy Barnabees Cottage Garden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53195296997709,"sku":"GAU-PNK","price":3.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0828\/6961\/6973\/files\/F3CC8DBB-74FB-46C7-A6F3-15F4D9D3BA9D_ed7bad47-b9d4-4a14-9f9d-9c4776230a2e.jpg?v=1783286068","url":"https:\/\/thefoalyard.co.uk\/products\/bishy-barnabees-cottage-garden-gaura-pink-bouquet","provider":"The Foalyard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
