Gypsophila fastigiata, commonly known as Fastigiate Gypsophila, is a perennial herb native to Europe. It typically grows to a height of 18-24 inches (45-60 cm) and a width of 12-18 inches (30-45 cm). This plant is characterized by its upright, columnar growth habit and small, white to pale pink flowers that bloom in dense clusters from late spring to early summer. The flowers are highly attractive to pollinators and are considered showy due to their abundance and delicate appearance.

Fastigiate Gypsophila is valued for its airy, cloud-like floral displays and is often used in rock gardens, as a border plant, or for cut flowers in floral arrangements. It thrives in full sun and requires well-drained soil, preferably with a neutral to slightly alkaline pH. It is drought-tolerant once established, making it suitable for xeriscaping. Regular deadheading can encourage a second bloom. In cultivation, it is relatively low maintenance but can be susceptible to crown rot if grown in poorly drained soils.CC BY-SA 4.0
