Gaura lindheimeri Belleza Dark Pink

Common Name:
Gaura 'Belleza Dark Pink'

Description:
Gaura lindheimeri Belleza Dark Pink is a compact and floriferous perennial known for its graceful, butterfly-like blooms and rich dark pink colouring. This variety produces a mass of airy flowers on fine, arching stems that rise above neat clumps of green to reddish-bronze foliage. Flowering begins in late spring and continues through summer and into autumn, offering a long-lasting display of colour that dances in the breeze. Ideal for Melbourne gardens, Belleza Dark Pink performs well in full sun, is tolerant of heat and light frost, and thrives in free-draining soil. Its compact, tidy habit makes it perfect for borders, cottage gardens, mixed beds, and containers. Deadheading is not essential but can extend the flowering period. Loved for its movement and colour, it brings softness and a naturalistic feel to both formal and informal plantings.
