Planting and Care Tips
To ensure the success of your Gaura lindheimeri 'Corrie's Gold' plant, follow these planting and care guidelines:
1. Location
Choose a sunny location in your garden that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. Gaura lindheimeri 'Corrie's Gold' thrives in full sun and may not perform as well in shady areas.
2. Soil Preparation
Prepare the soil by loosening it and incorporating organic matter to improve drainage and nutrient availability. Gaura lindheimeri 'Corrie's Gold' prefers well-draining soil but can tolerate a wide range of soil conditions.
3. Planting
Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball of the plant. Place the plant in the hole, ensuring that the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Backfill the hole and gently firm the soil around the plant.
4. Watering
Water the plant thoroughly after planting and ensure the soil remains consistently moist until the plant establishes itself. Once established, Gaura lindheimeri 'Corrie's Gold' is moderately drought tolerant and requires less frequent watering.
5. Pruning
Prune back the plant in early spring to remove any dead or damaged growth. This encourages new growth and helps maintain the plant's shape. Deadheading spent flowers throughout the summer can also prolong the blooming period.
6. Winter Care
Gaura lindheimeri 'Corrie's Gold' is generally hardy and can tolerate cold temperatures. However, in regions with severe winters, it is recommended to apply a layer of mulch around the plant to provide insulation and protect the roots.
