Description
Gypsophila paniculata 'Snowflake' is a classic open-pollinated heirloom perennial selection revered for its cloud-like masses of tiny, pure white double blossoms. Growing into airy, billowy mounds reaching 30 to 36 inches in height and width, it produces thousands of delicate 0.25-inch fully double flowers on fine, intricately branched, wire-like stems. Blooming prolifically from early to late summer, Snowflake provides a soft, ethereal texture that lightens up sunny garden borders and weaves effortlessly among bolder perennials. Universally recognized as the quintessential filler flower, it is an indispensable staple for fresh cut arrangements, bridal bouquets, and everlasting dried floral designs.
Best Time for Sowing (Zone 6b):
Start seeds indoors late February to March (lightly cover seeds with fine soil; germinates in 10–15 days at 20°C / 68°F); transplant outdoors mid-to-late May. Alternatively, direct sow outdoors late April to May, or autumn (October) for natural winter stratification.
Sunlight:
Full Sun (6+ hours direct sunlight daily)
Watering Needs:
Low to Moderate (requires light moisture to establish; highly drought-tolerant once rooted; requires well-drained, alkaline or limed soil)
