Gypsophila paniculata
DOUBLE BABY'S BREATH
SKU: 50-020
There has been a lot of confusion about Baby's Breath, and for understandable reasons. There are annual plants (plants that bloom the first year from seed) and perennial plants (plants that endure eternally throughout the years). There are white, pink and red blooms, and there are single and double flowers!
There are only two ways to obtain a perennial double-flowered Baby's Breath: by buying plants, or from seed. When using seed, 50% of the seedlings will have double flowers, and 50% will have single flowers. Both the single and double flowers are quite beautiful! As these plants are perennial, the plants will endure forever, through the seasons, returning each year from the roots. Plants are large and tall, and produce many flowers per plant!
