Hardy plant but someone did not test this correctly when importing it. WIki Quote: Several species of Gaura are regarded as noxious weeds, especially in disturbed or overgrazed areas where it easily takes hold. They can become a nuisance in situations involving disturbed habitat, such as trampled rangeland and clearings. Efforts to control Gaura focus mainly on prevention of misuse of land. There is no biological control method for plants of genus Gaura, and removing existing infestations is difficult, due in large part to the plants' ability to reproduce from bits of rhizome left in the ground I can tell you its doing more than that.

I have a water course not more than 90 meters from here. I will see it if any manage to spread down there. The water company is replacing the sewer lines so the disturbed ground will be there, and this is where it will get in. Hi all.
