    Gaura lindheimeri has been re-named Oenothera lindheimeri.

    Wonderful perennial. Unfortunately I lose it over winter.

    It is hardy to -10C @Kate 7 but does need a sunny, sell-drained position.   You could try growing it in a pot and moving it to shelter in winter or else take cuttings as insurance.

    Only hardy to -10 if in decent soil. Mine is cold and wet.
    My sister grows it like a weed in Dorset.

    I have had them since 2020. I don't cut back in winter and they seems to survive, great with Verbena Bonariensis.

    Thanks for replies
