Gypsophila muralis Gypsy deep Rose

Common Name:
Cushion Baby's Breath 'Gypsy Deep Rose'

Description:
Gypsophila muralis 'Gypsy Deep Rose' is a compact, mound-forming annual renowned for its abundant, semi-double to double deep rose-coloured flowers that bloom throughout summer. The plant reaches a height of approximately 20 to 25 centimetres and spreads about 30 to 35 centimetres, creating a dense, airy appearance ideal for garden borders, rockeries, and containers. Preferring full sun, 'Gypsy Deep Rose' thrives in well-drained, light soils and demonstrates a good tolerance to cooler temperatures, making it suitable for Melbourne's climate. Minimal maintenance is required; regular watering during dry periods and deadheading spent blooms will encourage continuous flowering. This variety is also excellent for use as a cut or dried flower, adding a delicate touch to floral arrangements.
