Sow seeds directly outdoors after the last frost once the soil has warmed, or start indoors 4–6 weeks early for transplants. Choose a sunny site with well-draining soil and minimal competition from larger plants. Avoid rich soil, as it can cause weak, floppy growth.
Scatter seeds thinly over the surface and lightly press them into the soil without covering deeply—Baby’s Breath requires light for germination. Keep soil lightly moist until seedlings appear, usually within 10–14 days. Thin young plants to 6–8 inches apart for best airflow and flowering.
Water sparingly once established, as Baby’s Breath prefers drier conditions. For continuous blooms, sow successively every few weeks. Cut flowers when about half the blooms on each stem are open for the longest vase life.
