Initial Notes:

This is an especially rugged, yet delicate gypsophila. I have had two clumps of this planted in the same location (in poor sandy soil) for at least 10 years. It grows in a windswept, unprotected area of the garden where winter winds ravage the landscape in biting sub-freezing temperatures in January & February. Yet it seems to thrive on neglect and adversity. It blooms heavily in June, and sporadically throughout the summer & well into fall.

Below is a picture showing it planted at the base of a crab apple tree. The picture was taken in September 2006.

And this is a close shot in October 2006. I hadn't noticed the spider webs until I downloaded the picture to the PC.
