How to care for Gypsophila paniculata Flamingo:
Choose a site sheltered from cold, drying winds and support using twiggy pea sticks or brush wood before the flowers appear. Cut back to ground level after flowering. Once established, lift and divide large clumps in autumn.
Please note:
This perennial is semi-evergreen so it can lose some of its leaves in winter. In colder regions or more exposed gardens, it may lose them all, but then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
