Long, black stems hold flowers at their tops. Wand Flower gets its common name from the way the long wands sway and dance in the breeze. Whirling Butterflies are the ideal quirky addition to your wildflower garden because to their bright white flowers and scarlet sepals. Greater compactness, extremely free flowering, and no self-seeding. In a border of mixed perennials, the light texture makes a lovely accent. Gaura is a plant endemic to the southern United States that, once established, can survive heat and drought.
