For optimal growth, Gaura lindheimeri Karalee Pink Picotee should be watered regularly and deeply. During the cooler seasons, water the plant when the soil becomes dry to a depth of 1 inch. In the warmer months, water it every 3 to 4 days until the soil is moist. Be sure to water where the roots are, which is usually near the base of the stem. Over-watering is not recommended and can lead to root rot and nutrient deficiencies. Avoid wetting the foliage, as this can cause fungal diseases.

Gaura (Gaura lindheimeri KARALEE PINK PICOTEE) is a versatile, long-blooming perennial that thrives in full sun. For best flowering results, this plant species needs at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. If grown in bright, indirect light instead, flowering will be limited and plants will become leggy. Gaura does best in well-draining soil and is tolerant of drought-like conditions once established. It also prefers cooler summer temperatures, so it may need protection from afternoon sun if grown in warmer climates. When grown in the proper conditions, Gaura will bloom profusely from early summer to fall.

Gaura (Gaura lindheimeri), also know as Karalee Pink Picotee, is a drought resistant and fast growing perennial. To help promote its continued health and bloom, the plant should be pruned 1-2 times a year. In late spring and early summer, prior to the plant's main flowering period, you should prune away any dead or damaged stems and cut back leggy, overgrown branches. You should also remove any flowerheads that have finished blooming to promote new blossoms. In late fall, after the blooming season has ended, you should prune any remaining flowerheads and take the opportunity to shape the plant to create an aesthetically pleasing form. Gaura Karalee Pink Picotee is a long-lived perennial, so pruning is an important part of promoting healthy growth and blooming. With regular pruning, you can ensure a beautiful, healthy plant year after year.
