Gypsophila repens 'Alba'

Creeping Baby's Breath

Large clusters of tiny flowers form misty clouds above branches with small rosettes of leaves. Easy to grow, Baby's Breath makes excellent cut flowers and is available with single or double, white or pink flowers. Best in cool summer climates and full sun. Use in rock gardens or trailing over the top of dry rock walls. Start by seed or cuttings. Does not transplant easily. Protect from gophers, slugs and snails. For rebloom, cut back flowering stems of perennial types before seed clusters form.
