Why Choose Gaura So White?

Gaura ‘So White’ is loved for its generous display of starry white blooms and its ability to add texture, height, and a relaxed softness to borders, cottage gardens and containers. It’s both drought-tolerant and robust once established, making it well-suited to New Zealand’s variable climates. If you need a reliable plant for low-maintenance beds, tough sunny spots, or as a filler among more structured perennials, gaura so white nz is a fabulous choice. Its delicate stems and fluttering flowers create a magical sense of movement in the garden, especially when planted en masse.

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.
