The inflorescence of Gaura lindheimeri is a long terminal raceme ranging from 10 to 80 cm in length, where flowers open sequentially from bottom to top.
In the reference 10 varieties crop Lindheimer's beeblossom, where this is mentioned in the description.
The inflorescence of Gaura lindheimeri is racemose and characterized by its loose structure, which gives the plant an airy appearance. Due to the sequential flowering from bottom to top, open flowers, buds, and maturing seeds can be found simultaneously on a single flower stalk.
The length of the flower stalks correlates directly with the overall height of the plant, varying from 50 to 150 cm. Under unfavorable light conditions or excess nitrogen supply, the stems are prone to stretching and lodging, and pruning of spent inflorescences is practiced to prolong the flowering period by stimulating the growth of lateral shoots.
