Description
Often called “Creeping Baby’s Breath,” this charming hardy perennial creates a frothy, romantic carpet of colour. Native to the mountains of central Europe, it has a low, mat-forming habit that helps it to soften hard edges in rockeries, over walls, at the edge of borders or as a the ‘spiller’ in a summer container display. In summer its neat silvery foliage opens out into masses of pale pink flowers, providing a long-lasting, airy display that bridges the gap between early and late summer bloomers.
