Gypsophila paniculata is a perennial with finely branching stems and numerous small flowers.
Botanical characteristics
The open panicles create a light outline rather than a solid flower head. Its substantial root system is best left undisturbed once established. A sunny position and drainage are more suitable than persistently wet soil.
Perennial flower selections
Single Flowered White identifies a single-flowered reference; Snowflake adds a separately named selection to the perennial seed list.
The Snowflake selection is offered with white flowers.
