Creeping baby's breath, Baby's breath white-flowered
Ordering at the end of January is early, but it's a promise because these baby's breath flowers are already well developed. I will keep them in the greenhouse in the meantime, and they will be beautiful when the time comes.

Description
Gypsophila repens 'White Angel' is a lovely variety of creeping gypsophila. It is particularly floriferous and bright, with white flowers that bloom profusely in summer on grey-green foliage. Ground-covering and prostrate, this vigorous perennial with the appearance of silver basket forms a decorative ground cover in sunny rockeries. It also works well in crevices and on walls, from which it cascades in vaporous draperies. It is well adapted to drought. It will thrive in the sun, in light, well-drained soils, even limestone.
Gypsophila 'White Angel' belongs to the Caryophyllaceae family. Its ancestor, Gypsophila repens, is native to the mountains of Europe, particularly the Iberian Peninsula, France, the Apennine Peninsula, and eastern Central Europe. This 'White Angel' variety has a spreading, cushion-like habit. Its mature size will not exceed 20cm (8in) in height and 40cm (16in) in width, or even more. Flowering takes place from May to August, if the soil remains slightly moist. It produces an abundance of pure white five-petal flowers. The flowers are arranged in cymes, branched inflorescences, and the overall effect is both aesthetically pleasing and extremely light. The foliage is evergreen to semi-evergreen in winter, depending on the climate. Soft grey-green in colour, it is composed of small, narrow, fleshy, opposite, glabrous leaves measuring 1 to 3cm (1in) long, borne on first prostrate, then ascending, knee-jointed stems.
Gypsophila repens 'White Angel' has its place in scree gardens, and beds with light and well-exposed soil. Plant it with salvias, old roses, and sturdy perennials like oriental poppies or gaura. It particularly enhances perennials with large flowers. It will form a misty carpet at the base of shrubby peonies. Ideal in dry gardens, in rockeries, or on sunny embankments where it will perfectly play its role as ground cover. This gypsophila also adapts very well to flower beds and pots.

Planting and care
Plant 'White Angel' in deep, porous, dry to moist soil that is very well-drained. Limestone or neutral soil will work well. Excess winter moisture 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 has a fragile, fleshy, taproot, and does not like to be moved; choose its planting location carefully. 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.
