Understanding Plant Options
Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:
- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
- Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements
Container Plant Sizes
Container sizes indicate plant age and growing capacity rather than liquid volume equivalents. Our containers follow industry-standard nursery "trade gallon" specifications, which differ from standard liquid gallon measurements.

Clouds of fine-textured white blooms, the Festival™ White Flare Baby's Breath (Gypsophila paniculata 'White Flare') is a butterfly and cutting garden standard! Adding lacy light texture and softness to garden beds and borders, breaking up coarse, large foliage plants with a graceful air!
Each tiny ruffled bloom looks like a tiny white pompom and sits in loose clusters atop slender, multi-branched stems and forms near 2-foot tall and wide mounds that add lacy texture to gardens, containers and vases indoors! The blue-green leaves form dense clumps and the blooms are more upright than other Baby's Breath!
White Flare is hardy in both heat and sun throughout USDA growing zones 4-8, these airy blooms add white frilly mist to gardens all summer! Iconic additions to add lacy finery to flower arrangements and bouquets as long as florists can remember, these easy-care perennials add the same look to your garden!
Planting and Application:
Baby's Breath adds gorgeous backing and lacy texture to your garden beds and borders, but rather than being a mere supporting perennial, White Flare is more compact and showy than others, but still has the light and airy feel. Adding clouds of white to garden beds to lighten the presence of larger shrubs and perennials!
Add to Rose gardens and perennial borders, cutting gardens and pollinator beds, anywhere these double-duty perennials can be tucked into! Containers and planters as well as en mass for drifts of white. Fill a planter with just Baby's Breath for an eye-catching mass among container gardens. Not just lovely for fresh bouquets, these blooms can be dried and used in botanical arrangements for years of beauty!

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Gypsophila does best in moderately moist, well-drained soil and full sun throughout USDA zones 4-8. Not particular on the type of soil, as long as it doesn't get soggy, provide moderate moisture during drought and add a layer of mulch to help hold in moisture. Deadhead if you've not harvested the blooms for bouquets and prune mound in early spring.
- Full Sun
- Moderately Moist, Well-Drained Soil
- Mulched Beds
- Deadhead After Bloom & Prune Early Spring
- Deer Resistant
