How to grow Bauera rubioides Candy Stripe?

Bauera rubioides 'Candy Stripe' is a compact, evergreen shrub admired for its profuse, pink-striped flowers and fine green foliage. To grow it successfully, choose a spot with full sun to partial shade and well-draining, slightly acidic soil. It thrives in cool, temperate climates and appreciates protection from harsh afternoon sun or drying winds. Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy, especially while the plant is establishing. Mulching helps retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushiness. It's excellent for cottage gardens, borders, or containers, and makes a lovely contrast plant with its unique flower colouring.

Bauera rubioides Candy Stripe care

Bauera rubioides ‘Candy Stripe’ is a low-maintenance shrub that flourishes with the right conditions. Plant it in well-drained, slightly acidic soil and position it in full sun to part shade. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, as it prefers consistently moist soil, but avoid waterlogging. A layer of mulch will help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain a neat shape and encourage denser growth. This variety is frost-tolerant once established and benefits from a sheltered spot away from strong winds. Fertilise annually with a slow-release fertiliser for natives or general-purpose blend in spring.
