Baby’s breath. ‘Bristol Fairy’

One of the most important plants used in arrangements. Fine stems produce a wealth of small white flowers that will last for a week or more when cut. For best growth this plant wants a sweet soil (pH 7) and good drainage. Full sun. Will gradually form a large patch if left alone, and is often used as a cover for areas where spring blooming plants die down in summer.
