'Whirling Butterflies' is a stunning plant with arching red stems, pink buds, and delicate, snow white, 4-petaled flowers that bloom in long, wand-like panicles. The flowers, which measure about 1 inch in diameter, open gradually and dance in the wind like butterflies, creating a captivating display from late spring to autumn. Typically growing 2-3 feet tall, this cultivar is more compact and floriferous than the species Gaura lindheimeri, with brighter white flowers. Its narrow, lance-shaped leaves (1-3 inches long) are sometimes spotted with maroon, adding to its visual appeal.
