FAQ about Baby's Breath – Classic

What kind of soil suits baby's breath best?
Baby's breath needs well-drained, free-draining soil that never becomes waterlogged. Limy soil is preferred. Avoid low-lying spots where water can collect, as this leads to root rot.
How often should baby's breath be watered?
Water moderately but deeply, about once a week in dry spells, and let the soil dry between waterings. Established plants have a deep taproot and are fairly drought-tolerant.
When and how should baby's breath be pruned?
Cut back faded flower stems after flowering to encourage a second flush. Leave the plant standing over winter and cut it down to about 10 cm in spring when new shoots appear.
How long does baby's breath last as a cut flower?
Baby's breath lasts one to two weeks in the vase and also dries beautifully. Hang bunches upside down somewhere dry and airy for dried flowers. Fresh baby's breath can have a noticeable scent, so keep it away from the dining table if you find it strong.
Is baby's breath hardy?
Yes, perennial baby's breath is hardy and normally overwinters without problems in well-drained soil. Avoid moving established plants, as the long taproot is easily damaged.
