No plant is easier or quicker for masses of delightful blooms than this annual Baby's Breath. In just 6 to 8 weeks, you'll begin enjoying the tiny, pure-white blooms, which are set at the tips of rather stiff, very well-branched stems. Invaluable for bouquets and arrangements both fresh and dried, they are also a fine source of airy, misty color in the garden--particularly effective with large, brightly-colored blooms or with vertical ornamental grasses. If you want a steady supply of Baby's Breath from spring to fall, just sow the seeds direct every 2 weeks as soon as the soil can be worked in spring. Will grow in any region of the U.S.
