ガウラ 'コンフェッティピンク'

The red-bronze foliage is the real showstopper here—it adds color even when the blooms take a break. Mine has been pumping out deep pink flowers nonstop since early summer, and trimming spent stems keeps it looking tidy without much fuss.

I’ve been deadheading mine every couple of weeks and the deep pink flowers just keep coming—well into autumn now. The compact habit fits perfectly in a small border where taller plants would overwhelm.

The red-bronze foliage really earns its keep—it adds color even before the first deep pink blooms open, and those flowers keep coming from spring through autumn. I’ve only had to deadhead a couple of times, but the payoff is a constant show of color.
