photo of May 14, 2024. The Gypsophilia 'pink lady' (pink baby's breath) as described previously: Famous as that
filler flower in bouquets, baby’s breath is coming into its own as a feature flower in perennial gardens. Pink Lady
Baby's Breath features airy plumes of pink flowers at the ends of the stems from late spring to early fall. The flowers
are excellent for cutting. Its grassy leaves remain bluish-green in colour with hints of silver throughout the season.
Pink Lady Baby's Breath will grow to be about 12 inches tall at maturity, with a spread of 20 inches. It prefers dry
to average moisture levels with very well-drained soil, and will often die in standing water. It is considered to be
drought tolerant, and thus makes an ideal choice for a low-water garden or xeriscape application. It is not particular
as to soil type, but has a definite preference for alkaline soils, and is able to handle environmental salt.
The babies breath is a survivor in the cutting garden in 2024.
