Description

Gypsohila ‘Pink Festival’ (Baby’s Breath) has pink flowers. It likes calcareous soils and owes its Latin name Gypsophila to this. Gypsos stands for lime and philas for loving – lime-loving. Gypsophila is an indispensable border plant if you use many flowers from your own garden. But this plant also has a visual function in the garden itself. In bloom there is a beautiful cloud of pink flowers. As a result, it can be used well to connect plants with contrasting flowers. A sunny position is important. For maintenance it is sufficient to cut the plant in the spring. You can also sprinkle a handful of calcareous fertilizer, such as bone meal, on the soil near this plant.
