A genus of North American plants with pink or white flowers, popular in gardens; sometimes called bee flower.
From Spanish gaura, possibly ultimately from Greek glauko- (glaucous or grayish-green), referring to the plant's color. The word entered English through botanical naming.
Gaura plants can thrive in harsh, dry climates while producing showy flowers—they're a gardener's secret weapon for turning difficult spaces into beautiful ones.
