Gypsophila (P)
Gypsophilia paniculata
Perennial. Hardy in zones 4-8.
Start inside 8 weeks before planting out in peat pots. Cover seed lightly, provide warmth; 21°C (70°F) and germination should occur in 10-15 days. May be direct seeded outside in early spring or early autumn. Transplant into the garden in early spring after hardening off the plants. Space at least 24" apart in a full sun location. Prefers well-drained soil. Add lime, do not over-fertilize, and keep well watered. Trim after flowering to encourage more blooms and to keep tidy. Dislikes being moved.
