It produces abundant little flowers useful for mist-like effects, in mixed borders in gardens and as trimming in bouquets. This genus includes more than 75 species having a very branched form with scant foliage when blooming. From all gypsophila species only the <em>Gypsophila paniculata </em>L. became a popular plant to use in trimming of fresh and dry bouquets. This species is strongly cultivated for cut flower. Nowadays the cultivars of this species with full flowers and white colour have a big economic value in the world market. Especially from this type, more than 16 cultivars have been developed.
