How to Germinate Baby's Breath Covent Garden

How to Germinate Baby's Breath Covent Garden (Gypsophila elegans Covent Garden)

  • Sow seeds directly outdoors in early spring or late fall for best results.
  • Scatter seeds on the soil surface and press them gently; do not cover them as they require light for germination.
  • Space seeds approximately 6-8 inches apart to allow room for mature plant growth.
  • Keep the soil consistently moist but well-drained until seeds germinate, typically within 10-14 days.
  • Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil, as Baby's Breath Covent Garden prefers drier conditions.
  • Thin seedlings to 8-12 inches apart once they have grown a few sets of true leaves.

Additional Tips

  • Baby's Breath Covent Garden thrives in full sun and sandy or loamy soils with excellent drainage.
  • Water sparingly after the plant is established, as it is drought-tolerant and sensitive to overwatering.
  • Apply a light layer of mulch to help retain moisture and control weeds.
  • Remove spent flowers to promote additional blooming throughout the growing season.
  • Avoid over-fertilizing, as nutrient-rich soil can lead to excessive leaf growth and fewer flowers.
