Gaura biennis, commonly known as biennial gaura or biennial beeblossom, is a native (North American) biennial plant that can reach anywhere from 4–6 feet in height at maturity. Its upper half is made up of flowering stems, which are covered with soft, white hairs. Gaura biennis is most well known for its light pink colored flowers, which turn a vibrant red/pink color in the late summer to early fall seasons (August to September, usually). These colors make this plant attractive to butterflies and bees, and are in full bloom just before many fall plant species begin to bloom.
