I received seed of Gypsophila sphaerocephala back in 1999 from HBG, the botanic garden in Gothenburg Sweden. For 13 years, it has been growing in this semi-plunged pot, exposed to all weather. It is virtually a sub-shrub, a tiny woody cushion, with very fine leaves. It was collected from Ala Dag, Turkey, 2800 m. Every year it sends up a few flower stalks with microscopic flowers, an utter disappointment in the flower department. I have tried to photograph it in the past years, but the flowers are so insignificant that it is impossible to photograph, not that it is worth photographing. So, my take on this plant is, it makes an excellent cushion, it is totally easy and hardy, but so far as flowers go, forget about it. :D
