Pacifica Baby's Breath Plants
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 and dahlias.
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 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.

Growing Info
How to Plant | Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball. Fill a little bit of the loose dirt back into the hole and tuck your plant in so the base of the stem is even with the top of the hole. Now fill in the rest of the soil around the roots, give the soft ground around the base of your new plant friend a few solid pats to compress the soil onto the roots, and a long, gentle drink of water |
Where to Plant | Find a place that gets a decent amount of sun, with rich, well-draining soil |
When to Plant | Plant outside in the late spring, once the soil has warmed up. Avoid the heat of the day when planting — plant in the early morning, late afternoon, or by the light of the moon |
When to Expect Blooms | Mid-summer through frost |
Care Instructions | Water regularly until they get established, and then give them extra water during dry spells. Pick blooms to encourage more |
