Gypsophila ‘ESM Chispa’

Baby’s Breath has come a long way over the years, with breeders improving their habit, bloom time, and longevity in the garden.  SUMMER SPARKLES® sets a new standard in taller Gypsophilas.  Unlike most which are quite open in habit and go dormant in late summer, this new variety has a much more compact, refined looking form and looks great in the garden all season.  It forms a uniform, very densely branched, rounded clump of grey-green foliage that becomes completely covered in flowers from late spring through midsummer.  The white flowers are small, semi-double, and slightly fragrant.  They are borne prolifically on all sides of the plant.  Deadheading the first round of flowers will encourage the plant to rebloom.
