Description
Gypsophila repens 'Rosa Schönheit', also known as Creeping Baby's Breath, is a vigorous perennial groundcover plant. Its fine and slightly thick semi-evergreen foliage is a medium blue-green colour. In summer, it is covered with a cloud of dark pink star-shaped flowers, larger than usual for the genus, giving the plant an airy appearance. It is a drought-tolerant perennial, preferring light soils. It is deal for rock gardens, sunny embankments, in crevices, and on walls, where it cascades in vaporous draperies.
'Rosa Schönheit' belongs to the Caryophyllaceae family. It is native to the mountains of Europe, particularly the Iberian Peninsula, France, the Apennine Peninsula, and Eastern Central Europe. The plant has a spreading, cushion-like habit. Its mature size will not exceed 20cm (8in) in height and 40cm (16in) in width, or even more. The flowering period occurs from May to August if the soil remains slightly moist, with numerous dark pink five-petalled flowers. The flowers are arranged in cymes, creating an aesthetic and extremely light mist-like effect. The semi-evergreen to evergreen foliage is a medium blue-green colour and composed of small, fleshy, opposite, glabrous leaves measuring 1 to 3cm (1in), carried by initially prostrate, then ascending, knee-jointed stems.
'Rosa Schönheit' has its place in scree gardens, and in beds with light well-drained soil. Plant it among salvias, old roses, and robust perennials such as oriental poppies or gaura. This plant particularly enhances large-flowered perennials like German iris. It will form a mist-like carpet at the base of shrub peonies. Ideal in dry gardens, rockeries, or on sunny embankments where it will perfectly fulfil its role as ground cover. This gypsophila also adapts very well to containers and flower pots.

Planting and care
Plant Gypsophila 'Rosa Schönheit' in deep, porous, dry to moist, and especially well-drained soil. Neutral or limestone soil is suitable. Excess moisture in winter can greatly harm it by causing root rot. Gravel-rich soil yields good results. This plant requires a very sunny but not scorching exposure. It does not like to be moved, as it has a fragile, fleshy, and pivoting root, so its planting location must be carefully chosen. Prune the plant after flowering.

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.
