It is very low-growing, only reaching 6 inches, and it spreads making it a great option as a ground cover plant. Creeping Baby's Breath also works well for the border or creeping along a path. Since this variety is trailing, it also is excellent in rock gardens, trailing over rock walls, or in pots. It's delightful wherever you decided to grow it! Gypsophila Repens white has papery white blooms and soft gray-green foliage. The light, airy masses of small white flowers make a good contrast to larger flowers in the garden.
