FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

When can I grow Gypsophila in the UK?

Start Gypsophila in spring, either in pots or directly in its final position once the soil has warmed up. Choose a sunny site with free-draining soil.

Where is the best place to grow Gypsophila?

Gypsophila grows best in full sun and light, well-drained soil. It does not perform well in heavy, wet ground, where the roots are more likely to rot.

Can I grow Gypsophila in pots?

Yes, especially compact types. Use a pot with good drainage and a gritty compost, then place it in full sun.

Why has my Gypsophila died or failed to grow?

Gypsophila is very sensitive to waterlogging. Poor drainage, overwatering and heavy clay soil are common causes of failure, so improve drainage or grow it in a raised bed or pot.

Does Gypsophila come back every year?

It depends on the type. Some Gypsophila lasts for one season, while perennial types return each year. Check the product details to confirm which type you are growing.
