Planting and Care Tips for Gaura So White in NZ

Plant Gaura ‘So White’ in a sunny position with free-draining soil, as it does best in full sun. Water well to establish, then reduce watering, as overwatering can cause root issues. Deadheading faded flowers will encourage an even longer display, while cutting back hard in late winter or early spring will promote lush new growth. Gaura, also known as bee blossom, is versatile and pairs beautifully with ornamental grasses, salvias, and other perennials suited to New Zealand conditions.
