I purchased 3 Gaura (Corrie's Gold) plants last year and they were in pots over winter. There is no sign of growth this spring; have they shuffled off their mortal coil do you think?
They certainly don't do Belgian winters either. Friends there treat them as annuals.
Very happy when we arrived here to see them in gardens and village centre plantings but don't yet know if they've survived the frosts although it has been quite dry this winter. I bought 3 the other day - a white one, a pink one and a deeper pink one with silvery streaks on the leaves. I'm hoping they'll do as cuttings and also plan to collect seed, just in case.

They're very skilled in doing just that Daisy.

Oh dear, suicidal little divas are they, nut?
Dang.
Sensitive souls. Can't take the cold and wet.

But thanks, nut.

Hmmm - wonder why I've avoided them, nut...
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
