It has pink flowers and variegated leaves. Unfortunately the name tag was missing. Could someone please identify it.....thanks. Attachments: Quote \| Reply \| Report

Thanks fozbot, it does look like gaura, the one called "Variegated Wand Flower" or "Corrie's gold". The difference is that my flowers are pink instead of white. Might be a hybrid. I like the combination of the leaves and the pink flower. Quote \| Reply \| Report

I would guess do to color of blooms, Sunny . It seems from what I can tell online Bijou has a deeper pink bloom. They haven't made it to my nursery centers yet- but when they do,I'll be getting some. I love Gaura. Quote \| Reply \| Report

I think it most closely resembles gaura passionate rainbow. It seems like it is going to be a really nice plant. I'm really glad that I got it. Thanks again. Quote \| Reply \| Report
