Gypsophila cerastioides Clumping Baby's Breath DROUGHT-WISE Charming Gypsophila with green and gray foliage forms a sweet blanket around shrubs and roses. Pretty light pink flowers encompass foliage in late spring. This Clumping Baby's Breath needs sharp drainage to be happy, but will bring about a nice cottage fairy garden feel to any border when planted around other perennials. Excellent for containers or rock gardens as well!

Gardening Tips from Fran
I fell for this Gypsophila a long, long time ago. It is very versatile, being able to dress up a old container or brighten up a dreary area under roses. It is an early bloomer and has a very sweet flower. Nice!
