A popular perennial with florists because of the sprays of double white fragrant flowers held above the foliage on wiry stems. Does well in a sunny well drained spot. Cut back the first flush of flowers to encourage re-bloom. Doesn't like being moved so choose your planting spot well.

Though Gypsophila is hardy it is seldom very long lived - good drainage and deep alkaline soil that is not too heavy will help it thrive. Calcium and magnesium help keep the pH high and a side dressing of a little Lime wouldn't hurt either.

CLICK TO ENLARGE

Gypsum improves soil quality to achieve healthy, vibrant gardens and lawns. Breaks up clay, loosens hard and compacted soil. Improves soil drainage and enables penetration of air, water and nutrients to plant roots. Gypsum also adds calcium to the soil which is great for avocado's as they are acid soil lovers and therefore no lime can be used.

Avocados are litter feeders, with most of their ‘feeder’ roots in the top 10 cm of soil and in the natural organic mulch under the tree. The use of gypsum as a source of calcium helps to give stability to the organic components of the soil. The sulphur content of gypsum helps to prevent the loss of valuable nitrogen from this organic layer.
