The Gypsophila elegans Cotton Candy Mix is a delicate and airy annual, producing clouds of tiny pink and white blooms that add softness and texture to garden.

 

Also known as Baby’s Breath, this variety is highly valued for its graceful appearance and long flowering season, cascading rounded plants suitable for containers, cottage gardens, and wildlife-friendly spaces.

 

Growing to a height of 15 cm, Cotton Candy Mix thrives in well-drained soil and full sun, where it forms light, branching mounds covered in dainty flowers.
