Gaura

I bought a 2-gallon pot of Gaura when Home Depot had them on sale.  I planted it on the slope of my backyard, but the plant dried and died fairly quickly.  I read that Gaura will come back in spring, so I am hoping it will.  In the meantime, I collected the seeds and sowed them (the Gaura seed should only be placed on top of moist soil, never to cover them with soil as they need light to sprout).

 The Gaura seeds I collected from my dying plant.

 After 14 days, from one of 5 seeds, one 'hatched'.  A tiny red seedling emerged!
