Gypsophila Violacea

Gypsophila violacea, commonly known as the baby's breath, is a delicate flowering plant native to the mountainous regions of Europe and Asia. It is prized for its clusters of tiny, lace-like white or pink flowers that create a soft, ethereal effect in gardens and floral arrangements. This plant thrives in well-drained soil and full sun, making it a popular choice for rock gardens and borders. Its name comes from the Greek words "gypsos" meaning limestone and "phileo" meaning to love, reflecting its affinity for rocky soils and its charming appearance. Despite its small size, Gypsophila violacea holds a special place in horticulture for its beauty and versatility.
