Gypsophila 'Clumping Baby's Breath'

This alpine perennial forms tight, low mats of fine, silvery-grey foliage, providing year-round texture and brightness in the garden. In spring and early summer, the plant is adorned with profusions of tiny, star-shaped white flowers, giving a delicate, cloud-like effect over the foliage.

Perfect for rockeries, troughs, or the front of sunny borders, it creates a gentle, softening presence among stones or alongside more robust perennials. Its compact habit makes it ideal for small spaces, while the fine foliage adds contrast and interest to coarser textures.

Thriving in full sun with well-drained soil, it is highly drought tolerant once established and requires minimal maintenance. Avoid overly rich or waterlogged soils, which can reduce flowering and longevity. Light trimming after flowering helps maintain tidy mats and encourages healthy growth.

A versatile and charming choice, this plant brings alpine elegance, soft texture, and long-lasting floral interest to sunlit garden spaces.
