Growing Tips
Rosea baby’s breath is an airy, annual variety cherished for its soft pink blooms and feathery foliage. Perfect for borders, bouquets, and pollinator-friendly beds, it thrives in sunny locations with well-drained soil and minimal maintenance.
When to Grow
Start seeds indoors 4–6 weeks before the last frost date or direct sow in early spring once soil temperatures are above 60°F. This cool-season bloomer prefers mild conditions over peak summer heat. If you’re not sure how to find your first and last frost dates, consult our blog post 'Our Experts Answer Questions, Share Resources.'
How to Sow and Plant
Sow seeds 1/8 inch deep in fine, well-draining soil. Maintain even moisture during germination. Thin seedlings to 8–12 inches apart when true leaves appear to ensure healthy spacing and air circulation.
How to Grow
Rosea baby’s breath grows best in full sun and moderate moisture. Once established, it is drought-tolerant. Deadhead faded blooms regularly for continuous flowering or allow some to go to seed for later harvesting.
How to Save
- Let flowers dry and go to seed on the plant
- Clip seed heads once they turn brown and papery
- Place in a paper bag to finish drying
- Crush gently and sift to collect seeds
- Store in a cool, dry, labeled container until planting
