Pacifica

It's time to rediscover Baby's Breath. They give us a wispy, fanciful, cottage garden vibe, and are the perfect, pillowy perennial to grow with your dianthus, dahlias, and daffodils.

Yes: Baby's Breath. Think about it. Picture these unique, palest of pinks, fluttery florets, forming ever bigger mounds of light, lacy, dainty flowers, year after year, to juxtapose your knock-out, centerpiece flowers like Dahlias, Lisianthus, and Irises. Like you, gardens need balance. Baby's Breath is here to relieve some of the weight.

Includes three young plants, grown in 2.5” diameter pots
