Gypsophila scorzonerifolia, commonly known as Scorzonerifolia Baby’s Breath, is a perennial herb that is native to steppe and rocky areas in Central and Eastern Europe. It typically grows to a height and width of 1-2 feet (0.3-0.6 meters), forming a low mound of narrow, lance-shaped leaves. The plant produces clusters of small, white flowers that bloom in the summer, creating a delicate, airy effect. These flowers are not as showy as those of its relative, Gypsophila paniculata, but they still add a subtle charm to garden settings.

Scorzonerifolia Baby’s Breath is valued for its drought tolerance and ability to thrive in poor soils, making it a suitable choice for rock gardens, xeriscaping, and borders. It is also used in fresh and dried floral arrangements for its fine-textured blooms. This plant prefers full sun to part shade and does well in sandy or loamy soils with good drainage. It requires low amounts of water once established, reflecting its adaptation to dry habitats. While generally low-maintenance, it can be susceptible to root rot if overwatered or planted in poorly drained soils.CC BY-SA 4.0
