Plant ID? Gypso or what?

  Definitely not Gypsophila rosea.  It looks familiar to me, a bit like Centranthus ruber leaves, but I don't think it is that.  Perhaps someone else will recognise it.

  I've looked at Centranthus ruber and Silene Vulgaris and I'm not convinced its either? When it flowers it will be easier to identify - unless someone has other ideas now?

  Its shooting up and I think now it is Centranthus Ruben/Valerian so I will have to move them in the Autumn - and get some Gypsophela!!! It bolted in the greenhouse as I was a bit slow planting out which I guess its why it is a bit long stemmed and droopy but getting more upright by the day with all the rain.

  I think it is Gypsophila paniculata  maybe rosea,(Use for cutting with flowers) as opposed to Gypsophila repens rosea , which creeps.

  Gypsophila oldhamiana looks a good possibility, I'll have to wait for flowers to be sure
