It will respond to a Paclobutrazol drench. Watch for aphids, whiteflies, and root rot.
Flowering
Dark pink flowers bloom from spring through fall.
Pinching
This plant doesn't require pinching.
Spacing
Space containers for adequate airflow and sunlight penetration around the base of each plant.
Height Control
Gaura responds well to a Bonzi drench at 2 ppm when it reaches its final size.
Pests
You may see aphids and whiteflies.
Disease
This plant can be prone to root rot in wet or humid conditions. Prevent infection by watering at the base of each plant in the morning, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings, providing good airflow in your greenhouse, and spacing containers so sunlight can penetrate to the soil level of each plant.
Planting Steffi Dark Rose Liners
We recommend planting one rooted plug per 4-inch container or two per 10-inch container. Use a well-drained soil and completely bury the ellepot in the center or evenly spaced in your container.
Rooted Cuttings
Cuttings vary in size between different plant families. These rooted starter plants will arrive ready to be transplanted in to your final container. If they are to be used in a landscape application, you will need to establish them in a 4 inch pot or an 1801 before planting outside.

Before we take this relationship any further...
It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
