A new look in Gypsophila! The plants remain very tidy and uniform over the season, making great garden plants. Dense sprays of pure white flowers on relatively short stems above the grey-green foliage, but are still long enough for cutting. This is also an incredibly long blooming selection, flowering from late spring into fall. It makes the perfect cover up for dying bulb foliage or for perennials, such as poppies or bleeding hearts, that go dormant in summer. Baby's Breath also makes an excellent dried flower.
