Gaura Belleza Dark Pink

Gaura Belleza Dark Pink is a tough, drought-hardy perennial with fine mid-green foliage and airy wands of deep pink, butterfly-like flowers from late spring well into autumn. Its compact, upright form makes it ideal for sunny borders, containers, or rockeries where movement and colour are valued.

Growth:

Reaches about 45-60 cm tall and 45-50 cm wide under good conditions—shorter habit than many traditional gaura cultivars, which helps it fit into smaller garden settings.

Light Requirements:

Thrives in full sun; tolerates part shade though flowering may be less profuse.

Soil Requirements:

Prefers well-drained soils; adapts to different soil types including sandy or loamy; avoids waterlogged ground.

Water Requirements:

Water regularly until established. Once mature, requires only occasional watering—will perform well with minimal moisture provided drainage is reliable.

Frost Tolerance:

Tolerant of light frost once established in suitable positions.

Drought Tolerance:

Highly drought tolerant once established; a reliable performer in dry, hot, or coastal garden conditions.

Flowering Information:

Produces dark pink flowers abundantly from late spring through summer and into autumn.

Spacing Requirements:

Plant about 45-60 cm apart to allow for airflow and full display of its flowering spikes.

Fertiliser Requirements:

Low feeding needs. A light spring application of balanced or slow-release fertiliser helps support flowering without encouraging excessive foliage.

Care and Maintenance:

Low maintenance. Remove spent flower stems to encourage more blooms. Prune lightly in early season to maintain shape. Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
