Characteristics:
Obtained by M. BALDASSARE / COMPASS - European Registered Plant
This Gaura selection is of a particularly dense shape; the shrub itself measures between 25 to and 30 cm high when the leaves are out, but once in flower it reaches 40 to 50 cm. 'Passionate Pink' has a spread of approximately 40 cm.
The lance shaped leaves are of a dark green and give a good contrast to the flowers from June to October: the dark red buds open into 2.5 centimetre deep pink stars with long stamens. This variety is very floral and true to its colours.
It is very hardy and does not have any major known enemies.

Use:
'Passionate Pink' is recommended for a sunny position, planted with other perennials and shrubs but because of its bushy shape it is also very interesting in pots and containers.
