Its assets: a touch of light, a splash of colour and an exceptional shape !This variety was first chosen for its completely new leaf variegation.

The leaf blade is grey-green, irregularly overlapped with light grey-green patches, delicately outlined in yellow, sometimes mixed with touches of pink.The stems, and then the flower spikes, are very straight. Their bright red-purple colour contrasts with the golden foliage, which shows off the beauty of PINK PANACHE®.Finally, this selection is also interesting for its upright, extremely well branched form. Its silhouette stays round.The relatively dark pink flowering takes place from May to autumn, just like the other Gaura varieties.To be used in pots, in beds, in association with shrubs or other perennials.

Bright coral - as a tree.
This tree of abour 4 m high is particularly original from spring to autumn.
The spring foliage is of an intense coral. It then takes on a light green tone, contasting with the bright pink to red stalks. Like with the other varieties of soap trees, they are composed and elegantly shaped. The new summer shoots are also coloured, but less flamboyant.
Once the tree is well established, the long yellow grapes of flowers in July are fragrant and very melliferous. They are followed by attractive coral-rose fruit capsules.
Finally the colour of the foliage turns yellow, then orange in autumn.
Grown as small decorative tree or as a bushy shrub, 'Coral Sun' must be planted in a wind-sheltered spot.
