Why You’ll Love It

Gaura ‘Belleza Dark Pink’ is a compact, long-flowering perennial. Its deep pink, butterfly-like flowers dance above fine, wiry stems from late spring right through to autumn, creating a light, airy effect. This variety has a tidy, compact habit, making it ideal for borders, mass plantings, and containers. Tough and drought-tolerant once established, it’s perfect for naturalistic plantings, cottage gardens, and pairing with ornamental grasses and other sun-loving perennials.

• Prefers well-drained soil; avoid heavy, wet conditions

• Water during establishment, then sparingly once established

• Deadhead lightly or shear back to encourage fresh flowering

• Cut back in late winter or early spring to refresh growth

• Excellent for borders, mass planting, and pollinator-friendly gardens
