Gypsophila muralis Duo - Baby's Breath

Gypsophila muralis Duo, commonly known as Baby's Breath, is a charming annual bedding plant covered in masses of tiny white and soft pink flowers that create a delicate, cloud-like effect. Blooming throughout summer, this compact variety adds softness and movement to borders, window boxes, hanging baskets, and patio containers. Its airy habit makes it the perfect companion plant, weaving effortlessly between bolder flowers and foliage to create a relaxed, cottage-garden feel. The nectar-rich blooms are also attractive to pollinators, making this an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly planting schemes.

Plant Care

Position: Full sun to partial shade. Performs best in a bright location with fertile, well-drained soil.

Watering: Water regularly, particularly during warm weather and when grown in containers. Avoid allowing the compost to dry out completely, but do not leave plants sitting in waterlogged conditions.

Hardiness: Half-hardy annual. This plant completes its life cycle in one growing season and will flower continuously until the first frosts.

Hot Tips: Deadhead faded blooms regularly to encourage fresh flowers and extend the display right through summer. Plant in drifts for a romantic, frothy effect, or use as a filler in mixed containers to soften stronger colours and larger blooms. Pair beautifully with petunias, calibrachoa, osteospermums, and other summer bedding favourites.
