Description

This is a Duo of paniculate gypsophilas, in white and pale pink, to enhance your fresh or dried bouquets or bring lightness to your sunny flower beds. These perennials, also known as "baby's breath", are prized for the beauty and charm of their flowering in airy panicles. From June to September, they form clouds of flowers that reach up to 1.50 m in height. A perfectly drained soil, even dry in winter, is essential to keep these gypsophilas alive for several years. Their crown can withstand brief frosts of around -12/-15 °C in dry soil.
 
The Duo consists of:
 
x 1 Gypsophila paniculata 'Schneeflocke': a fairly compact, floriferous variety with semi-double white flowers, reaching between 70 cm and 1 m in height when in bloom, depending on the soil fertility.

x 1 Gypsophila paniculata 'Flamingo': a variety with pale pink double flowers reaching between 1 m and 1.20 m in height.

Preferably plant these paniculate gypsophilas in spring in a porous soil that does not retain water, preferably sandy or rocky. Give them a sunny exposure. In any case, these perennials do not tolerate very wet soils in winter. Respect a spacing of 80 cm so that each plant can express its full potential.

Paniculate Gypsophilas are excellent companions for large-flowered bush roses and the regal lily, both in the ground and in vases. They bring a lot of lightness to any flower bed and, when planted en masse, allow you to create incredibly poetic borders. To accompany them, consider for example Nepeta 'Six Hills Giant', rose campion and the tall lavenders that appreciate the same environments. You can also grow them in pots to decorate your patio or balcony.

Planting and care

Gypsophila paniculata enjoys sunshine and warm locations. Plant it in a light soil, even quite poor, sandy or rocky, especially well-drained. It tolerates limestone. If the soil is not well-drained enough, the plant will behave like an annual and die in the following winter, as it doesn't like winter moisture. With a soil which is well-drained, even dry in winter, it will withstand the cold and live for a long time. Gypsophila does not like competition. Space it from other plants by 60-80 cm to avoid crowding it. If necessary, stake or tie up the tall stems. Remove faded flowers for a longer flowering period. After flowering or at the latest before the start of new growth, prune the dry parts of the plant.
