Description:
Gaura Baby Butterflies™ Pearl is a compact and free-flowering perennial known for its delicate white blooms and graceful, airy appearance. Bred for smaller spaces, this variety is perfect for borders, pots, or mass planting, offering long-lasting colour and soft movement in the garden. It thrives in Australian conditions and is tolerant of heat, light frosts, and dry spells once established.
Flowers:
Abundant white butterfly-like flowers appear from spring through autumn, giving a continual display. Flowers are held on slender wiry stems that dance in the breeze, adding a whimsical touch to garden beds or containers.
Foliage:
The fine-textured green foliage forms a neat, compact clump, providing a soft and subtle contrast to the bright white blooms.
Fruit:
Not significant.
Form and Size:
Naturally compact and bushy, typically growing 30–40 cm high and wide.
Growing Conditions:
Prefers a sunny to lightly shaded position in well-drained soil. Drought-tolerant once established. Avoid overwatering and ensure good drainage to prevent root rot. Tolerates a wide range of soil types, including sandy and clay loams.
Uses:
Ideal for low-maintenance garden beds, borders, rockeries, and containers. Suitable for coastal gardens and waterwise landscapes. Also attractive to bees and butterflies.
Maintenance:
Minimal maintenance required. Lightly trim spent flower stems to encourage new blooms. Cut back hard in late winter to early spring to rejuvenate growth. Fertilise occasionally with a balanced, slow-release fertiliser.
Notes:
Excellent choice for modern gardens seeking long flowering colour with soft, natural form. Bred specifically for compact habit and reliable flowering in warmer climates.
Companion Plants:
Pairs well with Salvia, Lavender, Festuca glauca, Euphorbia ‘Diamond Frost’, or other compact perennials like Scaevola and Osteospermum.
