Fothergill's Gypsophila Cotton Candy Mix Seeds

Details:

• Botanical Name: Gypsophila muralis, a highly reliable variety prized for its delicate, misty floral displays.
• Plant Class: Hardy Annual, establishing quickly from seed to provide a dense, heavy explosion of seasonal colour within a single year.
• Growth Habit: Reaches a neat, dwarf height of 15cm (6in) with a versatile spreading and trailing habit that looks remarkably effective as a soft groundcover.
• Visual Display: The rounded plants become completely smothered in tiny flowers, creating a dense, "cotton candy" look that blooms profusely throughout the summer months.
• Sunlight Position: Flourishes in both full shade and partial shade, making it a highly practical option for bringing vibrant colour to trickier, less sunny spots in the garden.
• Container Performance: The natural trailing form allows the stems to cascade prettily over the sides of hanging baskets, window boxes, and large patio containers.

Care & Growing Instructions:

• Sowing Position: Direct sow into finely prepared, well-drained soil or high-quality compost where the plants are intended to flower, ensuring the spot is kept clear of aggressive weeds.
• Maintenance: An exceptionally low-maintenance and easy-to-grow variety; keep the soil moist but well-drained, providing regular water during dry spells to sustain the heavy summer flowering display.
