Who gets voted off the greenhouse?

As we continue to add more great flowers to our spring line-up, some of the old flowers need to be put out to pasture to make room for the new stuff. My nominee is Gypsophila. If you have any feelings about this flower, please vote on our poll.

Reasons to Stay:


Gypsy Deep Rose Gypsophila, is a small compact plant, covered with flowers, that blooms all seasons. This pink Baby's Breath won the All American Selections award about 10 years ago. It looks fabulous in our greenhouses in May.


Reasons to Go:


Actually, there is only one reason for it to go. "Gypsy" has very fine leaves, so it is prone to drying out. Depending on your container, it may require watering every day, possibly twice a day if we have a heat wave. It is absolutely unforgiving if you forget to keep it watered. If you forget to water it, and it goes a bit droopy, it will recover. It will let you do this once or twice, but after that, it is pretty much a gonner.  We're not very good at watering our containers, and as you can see, it didn't do very well for us. Next to it was a container of geraniums that did great with the same amount of watering.
