A wiry perennial with white or pink four-petaled flowers that dance on thin stems, like moths that never quite land.
Care. Plant in full sun and lean, well-drained soil; too much water makes it flop.
A note. Gardeners still call it gaura, though botanists moved it into the evening-primrose genus Oenothera.
