White Annual Baby's Breath Seeds | 500 Seeds

• White Annual Baby’s Breath (Gypsophila elegans) is a fast-growing annual with delicate, airy branching stems and masses of small pure white flowers, growing 12–24 inches (30–60 cm) tall and blooming from late spring through summer; it is ideal for borders, cutting gardens, containers, and dried flower arrangements

• Seeds are best direct sown outdoors after the last frost; in mild climates they may also be sown in early spring or fall; Baby’s Breath has a taproot and does not transplant well, so direct sowing is recommended

• Prefers light, well-draining soil and tolerates poor or sandy soils; soil pH should be neutral to slightly alkaline

• To sow, loosen the soil surface, scatter seeds thinly, cover very lightly with soil (about ⅛ inch / 3 mm), and water gently; thin seedlings to 8–12 inches (20–30 cm) apart

• Requires full sun for best flowering and compact growth; partial shade will reduce bloom density

• Keep soil evenly moist during germination; once established, plants are drought tolerant and excessive moisture can cause weak growth or root rot

• Seeds typically germinate in 7–14 days at an ideal temperature of 60–70°F (15–21°C)

• Fertilizing is minimal; excessive nutrients promote leafy growth with fewer flowers, so apply only a very light, balanced fertilizer if soil is extremely poor

• White annual Baby’s Breath is generally pest- and disease-resistant; occasional aphids may appear and can be washed off with water; poorly drained soil can lead to root rot

• Suitable for containers with excellent drainage; allowing flowers to mature will encourage self-seeding for future seasons
