Describe the plant here...
{{Inc|
Gypsophila (gypsum-loving, because it likes calcareous soils). Caryophyllaceae. European and Asian herbs, bearing a profusion of small flowers, and useful for mist-like effects in mixed borders and as trimming in bouquets.
Sepals 5, united below, but the calyx naked at the base (not bracted, as in some related genera) 5-nerved; petals 5, clawed, very small, usually white, in some horticultural forms pinkish; stamens 10; styles 2: pod 4-valved: lvs. small, entire, opposite.—Perhaps 75 species. Very branchy or spreading, slender herbs, with scant foliage when in bloom. Of easiest cult, in open, rather dry places. They are desirable for rock- work. They make an excellent effect as filling amongst shrubbery; also good for covering unkempt places with a mass of delicate bloom. Hardy.
