Dear Mr. Pollit: Thank you for the info on baby's breath. We live in a
warm, moist climate (Hilo, Hawaii). The temperature varies with the
elevation and we can experince a range from 50 degrees (F) to 85 degrees
(F). A florist we know has trouble finding baby's breath and we were
wondering how easy it would be to grow commercially. Do you have any
recommendation as to a source of seeds and can you reocmmend any literature
on growing this plant. Because of our climate, this annual will probably
survive beyond growing season but will soon go to seed and need to be
replanted etc. due to the natural cycles in the plant. Thanks for your
help. Aloha, Doug Halsted
