Gypsophila (BABY"S BREATH)
Covent Garden
Gypsophila elegans


ANNUAL. Baby's breath. Masses of tiny pure white single flowers on multi-branching slender stems. Showy plants with pure white flowers borne in abundance in early summer. The abundance of flowers combine with light foliage to create a cloud-like effect in the garden. Multi-branched long stemmed plants are invaluable in the cut flower garden. Dainty and attractive especially when mixed with other flowers in fresh and dried bouquets. The branching, airy habit makes attractive filler in bouquets. Height 18". Sow seeds at 3 week intervals to keep flowers coming throughout the summer.
