aka Babys Breath

A popular perennial with florists because of the sprays of double white fragrant flowers held above the foliage on wiry stems. Does well in a sunny well drained spot. Cut back the first flush of flowers to encourage re-bloom. Doesn't like being moved so choose your planting spot well.

Though Gypsophila is hardy it is seldom very long lived - good drainage and deep alkaline soil that is not too heavy will help it thrive. Calcium and magnesium help keep the pH high and a side dressing of a little Lime wouldn't hurt either.

Narrow green leaves with frothy sprays of pink semi-double flowers. Sensational planted en masse and as a backdrop to bolder looking plants. A florists must have. Thrives on dry, stony slopes, often with chalky soil. So, it grows best in full sun and prefers light, deep alkaline soil.
