Used to have Guinée. Fabulous velvety flower but it died in a -25C winter. We'd had that for a night or two in previous winters but this was 2 weeks getting that cold in Feb when the sap is starting to rise. Fatal.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Thank you, @AuntyRach. I’ve grown the gypsophila from bare root. Unfortunately, as much as I like the flowers, it has grown huge and has a very sprawling habit. Most of it is now resting on the lawn. I need to find a compact version.
I couldn’t see a jam jar posies 2020 and can’t be bothered to start a new thread....but I was quite pleased with these wallflowers. There doesn’t seem to be much online about wallflowers as cut flowers. Anyone else doing this?

@Fire the red one is Guinee climber that I managed to pick up in a local garden centre sale for £3.50. 😊
