HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow in spring after the soil has warmed to about 70 degrees F. Press the deep carmine pink baby's breath seed into the soil's surface, since it requires light to sprout; keep the soil moist until it germinates, which usually occurs in 10-15 days. To start indoors, sow the seed in flats 4-6 weeks before the last frost; keep the soil lightly moist until germination, and transplant the seedlings outdoors as soon as the weather allows. This plant grows well in rich, light soils; for continuous bloom, plant a new crop every 3-4 weeks.
Growing: This plant grows quickly and can tolerate some drought, though it grows best with regular watering as it develops and begins to bloom. This plant will begin to bloom in about 4 weeks from seed, for a duration of about 6 weeks. It will self-seed readily , though cutting the foliage down to ground level after blooming will prevent this. The deep carmine pink plant attracts bees and butterflies, and resists deer.
Harvesting: For fresh flowers, cut long stems of flowers that have just opened and place them in water immediately; strip the leaves that will fall below the water. These flowers also dry well.
Seed Saving: After blooming, each flower will develop a small round seed pod. As soon as the pods dry and contain mature black seed, shake them over a container to remove the seed. The entire plant can also be cut several inches above ground level and hung upside down, to allow the deep carmine pink baby's breath seed to fall as the plant dries.

Beautiful Flowers
I press these beautiful flowers and use them in jewelry. Was so happy to be able to get seeds this year as they have been hard to find! Everwilde Farms has the best seeds ever and will continue to order from them.
Beautiful Baby's Breath
The Carmine Baby's Breath flowers are so dainty and beautiful. Stems can be a little sticky, but work great for pressing or even drying in silica gel. Love them!
