Description
Gaura 'Baby Butterfly Dark Pink', commonly known as dwarf beeblossom, is a charming compact perennial that brings delicate movement and colour to UK gardens. Reaching around 25–30cm in height, this bushy, clump-forming beauty features narrow green foliage that creates a soft, textural backdrop for its star-shaped rose-pink flowers. Gaura 'Baby Butterfly Dark Pink' (syn. Oenothera 'Baby Butterfly Dark Pink') produces a graceful cascade of blooms on slender, upright stems, giving the impression of tiny butterflies dancing over the garden from late spring through summer. Its vivid, dark pink flowers inject a cheerful note into borders, containers, or low-maintenance planting schemes, adding elegance without overpowering neighbouring plants.
Well-suited to sunny spots with well-draining soil, Gaura lindheimeri 'Baby Butterfly Dark Pink' is hardy, deciduous, and surprisingly versatile. Its compact habit makes it perfect for front-of-border displays, rockeries, or patio pots, while the airy blooms attract pollinators, bringing bees and butterflies into your garden with minimal effort. Gaura 'Baby Butterfly Dark Pink' pairs beautifully with soft pastels, silvery foliage, or bright summer tones, creating a dynamic and lively display in any UK garden. With its long flowering season, subtle motion in the breeze, and vibrant pink hue, Gaura 'Baby Butterfly Dark Pink' offers a perennial pop of colour that keeps borders cheerful and inviting from late spring through to the end of summer.

Useful information
-
Soak your Gaura 'Baby Butterfly Dark Pink' roots in water for 3-6 hours prior to planting.
Plant your "Dwarf beeblossom" bare roots into temporary pots with a multipurpose compost in spring and grow-on in a sheltered spot outdoors.
Choose a pot which comfortably fits the bare roots. Some have a noticeable crown which should be just below the soil surface with any top growth exposed.
Plant out into borders or permanent containers in late spring or early summer once in full growth. Choose a position in sun or shade depending on the variety.
