Gypsophila tomentosa, commonly known as Woolly Gypsophila or Tomentose Baby’s Breath, is a perennial herb native to Spain. It typically grows at a moderate rate to a height of 1.5-2 feet (0.46-0.6 meters) and a width of 1-1.5 feet (0.3-0.5 meters). This plant is characterized by its woolly gray-green foliage and small, white to pale pink flowers that bloom in the summer. The flowers are not particularly showy, but they create a delicate, frothy effect that is valued in garden designs.

Woolly Gypsophila is appreciated for its drought tolerance and ability to thrive in poor soils, making it a good choice for xeriscaping and rock gardens. It is also used in borders and as a ground cover due to its low-growing, mounding habit. This plant prefers full sun and well-drained sandy or loamy soils. It requires minimal water once established, making it an easy-care option for gardeners. While not commonly reported, it can be susceptible to root rot if overwatered or planted in poorly drained soils.CC BY-SA 4.0
