In addition to its beautiful blooms, Passionate Blush boasts attractive foliage with red-tipped leaves that eventually turn a solid green.

Our Gaura Plants are cultivated with care and free of harmful pesticides, ensuring they are a safe and beautiful addition to your garden. Guaranteed to arrive healthy and ready to thrive!

nice, healthy Gaura plants delivered quickly!

As with all my purchases from GrowJoy, my plants arrived intact, packaged very securely and in only a couple of days. Although only about 4 tall, some of the 4 plants even had a flower or two already!

Plant shipment

Since my purchase were starter plants I can’t provide a picture showing a blooming plant. However, I can tell you that the plants were very well preserved and packaged carefully. They arrived in great condition and are thriving. I will continue to purchase from this company.

I ordered 4 plants of three varieties of Gaura. They arrived on time. I was very impressed with the packaging of the plants and how healthy they looked. I transferred them to pots and they are doing great!

I ordered some of these last year and didn't see much from them the first season. However, they are blowing my mind this spring!
