Also known as “Baby’s Breath, Gypsophilia is an annual species native to the Caucasus region, Ukraine and Western Asia. The common name comes from the sweet scent of the flowers. Gypsophila means ‘lime loving’, but most species are happy in neutral to slightly alkaline soil that is fertile, moist and well drained. Plant in full sun, larger types will often rebloom if cut back after their first flush.
