GYPSOPHILAS
EFFECTIVE IN ROCK GARDENS. We hear a good deal of the “paniculata” Gypsophilas, but comparatively little of the procumbent or creeping forms; yet in the rock gardens they can be used with good effect, more especially if spots can be found where they can trail without detriment to other things growing about them. , These Gypsophilas, once established, flower most freely and continue for a long time, and when flowers are not out make attractive cushion-like plants. Some of these gypsophilas are very dwarf, “carpeters” that : love sunny niches in a rock garden; as, for instance, G. carestioides, which bears innumerable white flowers vained with red, seldom growing more than 3in in height. Trailing forms are to be found in G. alpina (white) and the rose form, and G. prostrata and G. repens.
