Description
The Gypsophila paniculata 'Festival Pink Lady' is a variety selected for its small size and bushy habit, ideally suited for container gardening and border planting. This plant forms a mist of tiny, delicate pink flowers in the summer, adding a touch of elegance and poetry. It is often associated with romantic roses and can be grown in the garden and used in floral arrangements. It is also a hardy perennial, thriving in light and dry soils. This beautiful plant can quickly grow in full sun, where the soil does not retain water.
The Gypsophila Festival® 'Pink Lady' belongs to the Caryophyllaceae family and is a relative of carnations. It is a recent horticultural hybrid resulting from cross-breeding with the botanical species Gypsophila paniculata. The plant has a compact habit and will reach a mature size of approximately 40 cm (16in) in all directions. It flowers in June and July and can continue blooming until August if the soil remains moist. The flowers are numerous, semi-double, and only 1 cm (0in) in diameter. They start as tightly closed buds with a deep pink colour, gradually opening into delicate blooms. The flowers are arranged in large paniculate clusters, measuring 25 to 40 cm (10 to 16in) wide, creating a light gradient of pink. The foliage is glaucous in colour and evergreen to semi-evergreen in winter, depending on the climate. The leaves are small, narrow, linear, and fleshy, measuring 1 to 3 cm (0 to 1in) in length. They are carried by knotty stems.
Gypsophila 'Festival Pink Lady' can be grown in containers or in the ground. This perennial plant thrives in rock gardens, elevated and well-exposed flower beds, and along pathways if the soil is light. It pairs perfectly with bush or ground cover roses in white, pink, mauve, and purple shades. This plant is ideal for dry gardens, as a blanket bog or on sunny slopes. Its airy flowering complements the spikes of Salvia nemorosa 'Blue Bouquetta' and the Verbascum phoeniceum 'Violetta', for example. This gypsophila brings a touch of poetry to the summer decor of terraces and balconies. Lastly, it is well-known for its use in dried and fresh floral arrangements.

Planting and care
Gypsophila paniculata 'Festival Pink Lady' is a plant that likes warm and sunny conditions. For best results, plant it in well-drained, light, poor soil. Make sure it isn't too close to other plants; about 50 cm (20 in) away is good.
If the soil doesn't drain well, the plant will behave like an annual and die in winter. But if the soil is well-drained, it can tolerate the cold and live for many years.
To keep your Gypsophila healthy, remove wilted flowers. If the plant's stems get too tall, stake or tie them up. After flowering or before new growth begins, prune the dry parts of the plant.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
