Because of this, many novice flower enthusiasts have also learned a lot of lessons, mainly because they were deceived when buying seeds.

Let's begin today's topic.

1. Is Gypsy Baby's Breath Perennial?

Some online information says that Gypsy Baby's Breath is a perennial herbaceous plant with a rhizome, but the editor has not seen any flower enthusiasts' Gypsy Baby's Breath survive for more than three years, so it is an annual herbaceous plant. If well cared for, it will self-grow, meaning the seeds that fall will germinate the next year. However, the flowers that grow again are usually single-petaled. This is not absolute because some flower enthusiasts say that the second-generation seeds of their Gypsy Baby's Breath also produce double, semi-double, and single-petaled flowers, although there is degeneration, it is not significant. Flower enthusiasts should have a general idea about this.

2. How Does Gypsy Baby's Breath Survive Winter?

Although Gypsy Baby's Breath can be sown in both spring and autumn, it depends on the local climate. If there is heating in winter, there won't be a problem. If there is no heating and it is relatively cold in winter, either provide a greenhouse for it, or it will freeze to death. Why mention sowing? Since we're talking about wintering, it is probably the Gypsy Baby's Breath sown in autumn. As long as it survives the winter, it can bloom by March of the following year. Of course, if the indoor heating is high, it might bloom earlier.
