Latin: Gypsophila elegans
Swedish: Röd sommarslöja 'Crimson'
English: Baby's Breath 'Crimson'
Purchased 22-02-2011 from Impecta.
We sew it on the 9th June 2011. They seem to have come up in larger amounts and spots. Not a very regular growth it seems. Also I probably placed them too near to each other. But well, now I cannot do anything about it and will have to wait and see if it works anyways.
On the 15th June 2011, there was not much to see yet:
Summer's summary 2011-08-23: This plant grew very quick and it seems most seeds also developed. We distributed on a given area and it became very rich with flowers. The flowers are neat.
To say it was invasive is a too hard expression, but indeed they really took their place. The dahlia that was surrounded by them had to fight for space. Nothing tragic though. This will be a standing purchase every year, even though I might not plant as much of it next year now that I know how easy they grow. And yes, they are as beautiful as the catalog wants us to believe. Note though that if you look from above, there might be some places where they lay down.
Producer's description
It produces incredible amounts of red, graceful small flowers. It fits well in bouquets as well as in flower beds. Here is an image downloaded from Impecta, just to give you an idea until I have my own pictures:
So I hopefully have something to look forward to.
Producer's instructions
Sow directly on the ground as soon as the soil is not frozen anylonger.
