Gypsophila paniculata 'Flamingo'
baby's breath
Frothy clouds of soft pink, double flowers appear on slender, grey-green leaves from mid to late summer. 'Flamingo' is a delicate beauty with a light and airy structure, it’s perfectly placed towards the back of a sunny border where it can offer height and elegance but not dominate the space.
How to care for Gypsophila paniculata Flamingo:
Choose a site sheltered from cold, drying winds and support using twiggy pea sticks or brush wood before the flowers appear. Cut back to ground level after flowering. Once established, lift and divide large clumps in autumn.

This perennial is semi-evergreen so it can lose some of its leaves in winter. In colder regions or more exposed gardens, it may lose them all, but then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
