The classic Baby's Breath, Gypsophila paniculata is an iconic garden perennial and a mainstay of the cut flower industry. It forms a deeply-rooted, branching clump from which emerge numerous, wiry, multi-branched stems, creating a huge, airy, cloud-like effect. In summer, these stems are covered in literally thousands of tiny, single or double, white flowers. The overall effect is one of a delicate, white mist, which is perfect for softening the edges of a border and weaving amongst other, more boldly-coloured perennials like roses and lilies. It is essential for cottage garden designs and is, of course, a world-famous cut flower, used to add a light, romantic touch to bouquets and floral arrangements. It thrives in sunny, dry conditions with alkaline soil.
