Gypsophila cerastiodes is a magnificent cushion-forming perennial that has alpine resilience to both drought and frost.
The flowers are delicate, large and white, delicately veined with purple.
The leaves are densely packed, spatula-shaped, and covered in fine hairs, forming loose rosettes. This creates an almost bouncy cushion form upon which the white flowers bloom.
The leaf arrangement helps protect it from the cold and water loss – an adaptation to the difficult environment which brought it to life – the Himalayas.
👨🌾GARDENING TIPS👨🌾 Gypsophila cerastiodes
- Its resilience makes it ideal for alpine gardens, rockeries, patio containers, troughs or for growing in gaps in walls and paving
- Its size makes it adorable when planted in small pots and teacups for table decoration.
The Tales: Gypsophila cerastiodes
The Gypsophila cerastiodes has its roots in the Himalayan mountains of Pakistan, growing in rocky soils at altitudes of anywhere from 1,200 to 4,700 meters.
So this cushion knows how to not only stay alive, but to survive, thrive and mesmerize.
Ok that’s enough 🙂
