Gypsophila paniculata – Baby’s Breath

Gypsophila paniculata, commonly known as Baby’s Breath, is a delicate herbaceous perennial prized for its airy sprays of tiny flowers and finely branched growth. Its cloud-like appearance adds softness and movement to garden borders and makes it especially popular as a cut flower and filler for floral arrangements.

This sun-loving plant thrives in well-drained, neutral to alkaline soils and is particularly suited to open, sunny positions. Flowering generally extends from summer into autumn. Cutting back after flowering can help maintain a neat shape and encourage further blooms.
