Perhaps the white-blossomed plant that I grew from the Texas/Oklahoma Wildseed mix is a different variety of Baby's Breath? --joe stewart, thunder bay, ontario
Positive	Happenstance	On Mar 7, 2004, Happenstance from Northern, CA (Zone 10a) wrote: All-America Selections winner 'Gypsy Deep Rose' is an annual G. muralis with dainty, rose-like blooms. The flower form is double and semi-double up to 3/8 of an inch. Forms a mounded plant with a height of 8 to 10 inches, spreading 12 to 14 inches. This diminutive plant prefers full sun and adapts to container culture. 'Gypsy Deep Rose' is easily grown from seed or bedding plants. Plants require little maintenance. Gypsophila is often associated with weddings because of their use in bridal bouquets.
