Hardy Perennial Plant

Add Lasting Colour and Wildlife Appeal with Gaura Baby Butterfly Dark Pink

• Gaura lindheimeri ‘Baby Butterfly Dark Pink’ is a compact, hardy perennial prized for its delicate, rose-pink blooms and neat growth habit. Bred to reach just 20cm (10") in height with a moderate spread of 30cm (12"), it’s the perfect choice for gardeners seeking vibrant colour in smaller spaces.
• This variety stands out for its extended flowering season, producing masses of butterfly-like blossoms that attract bees and other pollinators from late spring through autumn. The slender stems and airy appearance create a soft, natural look that complements both contemporary and cottage gardens.

Growing Guide & Care Instructions

• Planting: Best planted in spring or early autumn. Choose a sunny spot—Gaura thrives in full sun but will tolerate partial shade.
• Soil: Prefers well-drained soil; tolerates a range of soil types but performs best in moderately fertile, sandy or loamy soils. Neutral to slightly acidic pH is ideal.
• Watering: Water regularly after planting until established. Once mature, Gaura is relatively drought-tolerant but benefits from occasional deep watering during prolonged dry spells.
• Pruning: Cut back spent flower stems to encourage repeat blooming. In late winter or early spring, trim back old growth to maintain shape and vigour.
• Feeding: Feed with a balanced fertiliser in spring for optimal growth and flowering.
• Hardiness: Fully hardy in most UK regions (typically USDA zones 5–9). Mulch lightly in colder areas for added winter protection.

Design Tips & Companion Planting

• Add Gaura Baby Butterfly Dark Pink to patio pots, mixed borders, or wildlife-friendly gardens. Its compact size makes it ideal for edging paths or filling gaps at the front of beds.
• Pair with ornamental grasses, lavender, salvia, or low-growing sedums for a textured, pollinator-friendly display.
• This perennial’s tidy habit ensures it won’t overwhelm neighbouring plants—perfect for layered planting schemes.
