Why Grow Gypsy White

• Small white flowers add a light, soft texture to pots, borders and baskets.
• The naturally mounded growth form needs no staking or routine pinching.
• Short airy sprays can be snipped for small posies and delicate filler.
• Compact plants pair easily with other cool-season container flowers.

Growing Notes

• Before emergence, keep the pellet moist enough to break down; after emergence, vent promptly and keep the mix moist but not saturated.
• Use sterile, freely drained seedling mix and water early in the day to reduce damping-off and Botrytis risk.
• Temperatures above about 30°C reduce flowering, so use cooler sowing windows and afternoon protection in hot regions.
• The current packet says simply “Gypsy White”; do not assume White Improved genetics, flower form or enhanced heat tolerance unless the delivered lot confirms it.

Seed safety: Multi-pelleted describes the sowing form, not the local lot’s treatment status. Do not eat the seed or pellet, and do not use it for sprouts, microgreens or feed. Follow the delivered packet.
