Baby's breath does not have any special site requirements. It likes sunny and warm sites, as it does not tolerate shade. It blooms abundantly when grown in light, permeable, alkaline soil. It will develop poorly in moist and heavy soil. We recommend to feed it with a multicomponent flowering plant fertilizer on meagre soils. Apart from the standard maintenance the plants should be regularly trimmed, so they produce more fresh shoots.

Baby's breath rhizomes should be planted in spring, in April and May. Set them 6 to 8 centimetres deep.
