Baby's Breath SeedsGypsophila - elegansA hardy annual able to withstand periods of short term drought. Native to Europe, it has naturalized throughout the eastern United States. Flowers are white, forming dense delicate clusters. Prefers full sun in well-drained soils. Baby's Breath can not tolerate an acid soil. Sow in early spring, seedlings are not winter hardy. Baby's Breath provides many strategic applications within the garden.
Flower Garden � Tips on Growing Baby�s Breath Annual From SeedDainty single clouds of delicate flowers, 8" tall, spread 12", that bloom profusely in summer covering themselves in clusters of tiny single or double flowers. Use for an airy look in borders or for trailing in a container or on walls .
DIRECT SOWis the preferred method for this garden plant. Do so 2 weeks after the last frost in your area or zone, or as soon as ground thaws. Scatter seed on ground and press lightly then thin to 8" apart once seedling have appeared. We use tweezers as they are fine small plants. Re-sow every 3-4 weeks from early spring through midsummer for a continuous supply of beautiful white flowers. Add lime to strongly acid soils BEFORE planting.
INDOOR SOWcan be done 6 weeks before last frost. You must be very careful when transplanting these little plants, they have deep carrot like roots which are not easy to replant. They do not like being disturbed.Germination is 7-14 days. GARDEN HINTS: Sow again in middle and late summer for fall blooms, as they are fairly frost hardy. Useful in edging, carpeting, bulb cover and in rock gardens. Well drained and average soil is preferred. Full sun is best, but can be grown in light shade. Harvest when 70% of the flowers in spray are open.
