Gaura ‘Geyser White’®

Pink buds, white flowers — because it knows how to make an entrance 🤍

Family: Onagraceae · Pot diameter: 19cm (3 lt) · Height: 35–40cm

Airy white flowers
Pink flower buds
Long flowering season
Full sun

Gaura ‘Geyser White’® fills a planting with airy white flowers that seem to float above fine, flexible stems. Flowers open in succession from pink buds and move in the slightest breeze, creating a luminous veil rather than a heavy flowering mass. It makes a composition feel more natural and lighter, linking stronger forms without hiding them. Its long, weightless display brings movement and light to borders, grasses and generous outdoor containers.

Its upright yet airy presence connects formal lines with looser planting and fills gaps without concealing what stands behind it. It is superb among grasses, silver-leaved perennials and soft pink or blue flowers, adding rhythm and a long season of visual interest.

What makes it special

Three cultivar-specific traits create its light, mobile and remarkably long floral display.

Flowers like butterflies

Four white petals open successively on fine stalks and move with the air.

Pink before white

Pink buds provide a second colour detail before each white flower opens.

An airy long season

Successive flowers keep the clump luminous through much of the warm growing period.

Why you will love it: it adds months of flower and movement while remaining transparent enough for the rest of the planting to stay visible.

In the garden & on the balcony Placement & plant combinations Choose full sun, free air movement and sharply drained soil for a light, well-branched flowering clump.

Planting position

A moving veil through sunny planting

Use in full sun among grasses and sun-loving perennials, where flexible stems can move freely and the root zone drains quickly after rain.

Colour & compatibility

White movement with silver, violet and fine grass

Upright blue flowers and narrow foliage reveal the airy white stems without turning the combination into a solid block.

Stipa tenuissima — fine moving leaves echo the flower stems
Salvia nemorosa ‘Caradonna’ — dark violet spikes give the white flowers a vertical contrast
Perovskia atriplicifolia — silver stems and hazy blue flowers continue the airy texture

Care at a glance

Light

Full sun gives the most compact branching and abundant flowering; light partial shade is tolerated, although stems may become looser.

Watering

Water regularly while it establishes, then deeply after the upper root zone dries; persistent winter wet is especially harmful.

Climate & hardiness

Tolerant of heat and cold once established in sharply drained soil; shelter very exposed stems from severe wind.

Safety

Generally treated as an ornamental perennial rather than an edible plant; discourage ingestion of plant material.

Detailed care Complete care guide Sun, drainage, establishment, mature watering, containers, feeding, cutting back and winter care

Sun & air

Choose full sun with free air movement. Shade produces looser stems and fewer flowers.

Soil & drainage

Use open, moderately fertile soil that drains rapidly. Heavy winter-wet ground shortens the life of the crown.

Watering during establishment

Water through the entire root area whenever the upper layer begins to dry during the first growing period.

Watering once established

Allow a modest drying interval, then water deeply. Do not keep the crown permanently damp or rely on tiny daily amounts.

Growing in a container

Use a stable outdoor pot with clear drainage and an aerated mix. Check moisture frequently in summer because its fine stems support continuous flowering.

Feeding

A light balanced spring feed is enough. Rich feeding produces soft, tall growth at the expense of a balanced framework.

Cutting back

Remove spent flowering stems selectively or reduce the plant after its main flush to encourage a tidier second wave. Cut old growth back as new basal shoots resume.

Winter care

Keep the crown free from fallen debris and prolonged wet. In exposed districts, leave some old stems until the harshest weather has passed.

Development over time From a rooted crown to an airy flowering fountain Basal shoots establish first, then branch and lift successive flower spikes above the foliage.

Crown establishment

The young plant first develops roots and a compact cluster of basal shoots.

Flexible stems rise

Branching stems extend upwards and begin carrying pink buds along their upper sections.

Mature flowering clump

An airy clump approximately 60–80cm high and 40–60cm wide carries a continuing sequence of white flowers.

Mature habit & dimensions

Established flowering clump

Height 60–80cmSpread 40–60cmAiry upright habit

An airy upright clump develops as fine flexible stems branch above the leafy crown and carry pink buds with successive white flowers.

Form through time

Two realistic seasonal states

Basal spring growthLong warm-season flowering

Basal spring growthA compact crown sends up fresh shoots before the flower stems gain height.

Airy flowering fountainBranching flexible stems carry pink buds and successive white flowers above the foliage.

Flower number, stem height and the balance of pink buds to white flowers vary naturally with season, light and temperature.

What to expect after planting: The root crown establishes before the full flowering framework develops; with sun and drainage, new stems branch, pink buds appear and successive white flowers create the mature airy display.

History & origin Cultivar origin Henricus G. W. Stemkens · Enkhuizen, the Netherlands · commercialised as ‘Geyser White’®

Henricus G. W. Stemkens bred and selected the cultivar at Enkhuizen in the Netherlands as a new compact, white-flowered selection.

It became known commercially as Gaura ‘Geyser White’®. Modern botanical treatment places the species in Oenothera, while the familiar Gaura name remains widely used in gardens.

Greenleaf for Plant Nerds Science nobody asked for Botanical details for anyone curious about what lies behind the plant’s appearance

Four petals, not five

Members of the Onagraceae are represented here by flowers with four petals and long projecting stamens.

Movement is part of the architecture

Fine but elastic flowering axes bend with air movement and return, creating the cultivar’s characteristic floating effect.

Frequently asked questions

What keeps the white flowering stems abundant, upright and ready to return after winter.

01How much sun does it need?

Full sun gives the strongest branching and most flowers. In shade the stems stretch and the display becomes sparse.

02How large does it become?

Allow approximately 60–80cm in height and 40–60cm in spread, with individual flexible stems moving beyond the central outline.

03How should it be watered?

Water regularly while it establishes, then deeply when the upper root zone dries. Avoid permanent moisture, especially through winter.

04Can it grow in a pot?

Yes, in a stable outdoor pot with excellent drainage and enough depth for the perennial crown. Check moisture more often during active flowering.

05Should spent flowers be removed?

You can shorten untidy stems after the main flush to encourage fresh branching, although individual flowers naturally open and fall in succession.

06Does it disappear in winter?

In cold or exposed conditions the upper stems may die back while the perennial crown rests. Fresh basal shoots resume when conditions improve.
