Gypsophila paniculata, also commonly called “mist, is the most commonly cultivated species, coming from the Soviet Union (the name of the genus means that it loves limestone). It is characterized by a rosette of leaves from which stems branch off covered by small white or pink flowers, very dense; the vulgar name of the plant derives from the rather compact flowers, that is, bridal veil. Flowering begins in spring and lasts until late summer. Plant with a delicate and airy appearance, the stems and leaves are green-blue. The small flowers that it produces are very numerous with simple or double corolla, have a rounded shape and are white or pink in color. The etymology of the botanical name which literally means 'lover of chalk' most likely derives from the type of soil, calcareous, suitable for its cultivation. By some gardeners they were called fog flowers. It is used as a cut flower for embellishing compositions (even in the dry state). The main cultivars of Gypsophila on the market are "Bristol Fairy" (probably the most suitable for flowering planning), "Perfecta", "Million Star", "Arbel", "Dana", "Florepleno", "New Hope", " Yukinko ”, with white flowers. The “Flamingo” cultivar, with a pink flower, is quite rare.
