Dallas,texas

Saw this flower in a planter at a model home in north Texas. What is the hairlike plant with the red/pink flowers on it?

It's hard to tell: Gaura maybe?

I can't see a close up of the flowers but I wonder if it's a variety of Oenothera? Two photos from our database for comparison:

Its looks like Gaura to me also.
