I have yet to decide if I want to plant Baby's Breath this year.  The idea of it being short lived really doesn't inspire me...


In general, this short lived annual (only 5-6 weeks) has lance-shaped,
fleshy leaves and single, white, summer to fall blooming flowers. Some
pink selections are available. For continuous color, continue to seed
at 3 to 4 week intervals or as needed for cutting supply
.
