It is adaptable to almost any soil and is tolerant of high humidity. It generates a taproot and is resistant to drought, but like most xeriscape perennials, it looks best when given regular irrigation. It blooms from early spring to frost, but flowers are most abundant in late spring. This year I put a species gaura through a heat test, planting a division in a container and placing it on my concrete driveway in Keller, Texas. Gaura is easily propagated.
Seeds germinate easily in moist media and reach full size in less than a year.
Siskiyou Rare Plants roots 'Siskiyou Pink' cuttings dipped in a liquid indolebutyric acid formula. Cuttings root easily and root division is also a viable method of vegetative propagation. I'll keep an eye on mine.
