Gypsophila elegans also known as Baby’s Breath is a short-lived annual so it’s worth making successive sowings for an extended season. Sow up to late summer, or early autumn in warmer areas. Sow directly in a sunny, well-drained position and cover lightly with soil. Sowings made in semi-circles create a natural drift effect.

Apply a tomato fertiliser when the flower stalks emerge and keep plants well watered.
