Saponaria 'Pink Beauty'

Gypsophila vaccaria

Pink Beauty's delicate dusty pink blooms dance on gray-blue foliage. Both an excellent cut-flower filler and cottage garden favorite. Prefers cool weather, so start in early spring or in fall to overwinter and bloom the following season. Newer to me, but I just adore the usefulness of dainty flowers in bouquets and designs, and that dusty pink color had me from hello :)

Packet contains approximately 100 seeds.
