Day 8
Well more and more new growth is continuing to pop up all over within my little garden of which I am quite happy about. Here is a flower, I definently have not heard about before.
Baby's Breath
Baby's Breath is a well-known flower used as a filler in florists' bouquets. The airy, mound-forming panicles of flowers are available in white, pink, or purple-blushed. This is a wonderful flowering perennial for the summer garden and for use in the flower vase. Baby's Breath is a herbaceous perennial of the Caryophyllaceae family.
Baby's breath does well in borders, rock gardens, or planted among the roses. It has an exceptionally long bloom time, lasting from early summer to early autumn in most areas. It does best planted in groups, and will go from seed to flower in 8 to 12 weeks. Provide protection from strong winds and add compost or manure to the soil for stronger flowers. Pull up the plants as soon as the flowers fade. Baby's breath dries well, and is an excellent background in arrangements
