Gypsophila paniculata 'Pink Fairy'
Common Name: Baby's Breath
Relatively large, very pale pink, double flowers appear like a pink cloud atop compact plants in early to midsummer. If deadheaded, this variety of Gypsophila is likely to rebloom in early fall.
Baby's Breath has long been valued as a filler plant in perennial border gardens and also as a long-lasting cut flower. Its broad habit makes this plant the perfect cover up for dying bulb foliage or for perennials, such as poppies or bleeding hearts, that go dormant in summer. Baby's Breath also makes an excellent dried flower.
