Common Name:
Cushion Baby's Breath 'Gypsy Pink'

Description:
Gypsophila muralis 'Gypsy Pink' is a compact, mound-forming annual known for its abundant, semi-double to double light pink flowers that bloom from late spring through autumn. The plant reaches a height of approximately 15 centimetres and spreads about 25 centimetres, creating a dense, airy appearance ideal for garden borders, rockeries, and containers. Preferring full sun, 'Gypsy Pink' thrives in well-drained, light soils and demonstrates 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.
