Beware! Baby’s Breath is Taking Over Our Gardens!
Baby’s breath is a beautiful, delicate flower that is often used as a filler in bouquets and floral arrangements. However, it has become an increasingly popular garden plant, and is now taking over many gardens.
What is Baby’s Breath?
Baby’s breath is a small, white flowering plant from the genus Gypsophila. It is a perennial plant, meaning it will come back every year. It is known for its delicate, airy appearance and clusters of tiny white flowers.
Why is it Taking Over Our Gardens?
Baby’s breath is a hardy plant that can grow in almost any soil and climate. It is also very easy to propagate, meaning it can spread quickly. It can also outcompete other plants for resources, such as sunlight and water.
What Can We Do?
- If you want to keep baby’s breath in your garden, make sure to plant it in a contained area, such as a pot or raised bed.
- Regularly check your garden for any baby’s breath that has spread outside of its designated area, and remove it.
- If you don’t want baby’s breath in your garden, make sure to remove any plants you find, and cover the area with mulch or a ground cover to prevent it from spreading.
Baby’s breath is a beautiful flower, but it can quickly take over a garden if left unchecked. Be sure to keep an eye on it and take steps to prevent it from spreading.
