You will receive a mature plant in a pot, which you can easily transplant into a bed with a recommended spacing of forty centimeters. Its cultivation is undemanding and can be handled even by beginners. It can grow in a pot, freely in herb beds, or in rock gardens. From June to September, the plant is adorned with white and pink flowers that attract bees and butterflies. The green leaves are edible and great for culinary use. The herb is not suitable for cutting for a vase, but its leaves can be easily dried for later use.

Paniculate baby's breath is originally a plant from the sandy steppes and slopes of southern Europe and central Asia, which has been grown in botanical gardens since the 18th century. Since the mid-19th century, it has also become naturalized in private gardens and became a classic cut perennial. In the garden, it applies excellently in modern-style steppe beds with grasses and drought-tolerant perennials, to which it adds airiness and lightness. The 'Flamingo' cultivar boasts a flood of tiny double flowers in a tender pink color, which last on the plant from July to September.

For florists, baby's breath is indispensable, whether for fresh summer bouquets or for drying, as it retains its shape and color even after drying.
