Field notes: Baby's Breath is an ornamental plant introduced
from Europe. It has escaped from domestic cultivation and can be
commonly found growing wild at lower elevations. This is the same
Baby's Breath that is used in floral arrangements.
Look for Baby's Breath in
sunny fields, prairies, and along roadways. Your local Garden
Center will have pre-started containers of Baby's Breath during
the spring planting season.
