Alpine gypsophila
Gypsophila repens
Alpine gypsophila is a tough, mat-forming perennial ideal for rock gardens, walls, and alpine beds, thriving in well-drained, alkaline soils. It prefers sunny to partially shaded spots and is quite drought-tolerant once established, requiring only occasional watering. Trim lightly after flowering to encourage a second flush of its delicate white to pale-pink blooms.
