Plant description
This gorgeous perennial forms a loose, spreading mound of grey-green leaves, topped with a mass of small, lightly scented, white flowers, which take on a pink blush as they mature. Appearing over several months from mid-spring, they are rich in nectar (so sought after by pollinators), and they add a wonderful burst of colour to pots, alpine beds or border edges.

How to care for Gypsophila Pretty Maid ('Yatgyp') (PBR):
Cut back after flowering to encourage a new flush of foliage. 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.
