GYPSOPHILA elegans (Baby's Breath, Annual)
Baby's breath Gypsophila Elegans is a European native annual herb. Baby's Breath is one of the most direct annuals to produce from seed. The grown Gypsophila Elegans forms thick, delicate clusters of white flowers that resemble a white cloud over the planted meadow, and the blooming Baby's Breath complements the blue cornflowers and red poppies blooming up through it beautifully.
