Gypsophila 'Rosenschleier'
baby's breath
A profusion of small white flowers, which take on a pink blush as they mature, appear on the branching stems of Gypsophila 'Rosenschleier' in mid- to late summer, creating a frothy haze above the low mounds of grey-green foliage.
How to care for Gypsophila Rosenschleier:
Plant in a sunny, sheltered spot protected from cold, drying winds, and provide support with twiggy pea sticks or brushwood before flowering. Water moderately, keeping the soil just moist during dry spells, and feed sparingly with a general-purpose or low-nitrogen fertiliser in spring.
After blooms fade, cut the plant back to ground level. Once established, lift and divide large clumps in autumn to maintain vigour.
