Growing
Achieving a cloud of delicate white blossoms begins with careful attention to your planting site. Because this annual thrives in the warmth of the growing season, you should sow seeds or transplant starts once the soil has warmed and the threat of frost has passed. While these plants are happy in containers, they prefer a spot with well-drained soil to prevent moisture from sitting too heavily around the roots.
To keep your blooms coming throughout the season, practice regular deadheading. Removing spent flowers encourages the plant to rebloom, extending the period of showy displays. This practice is especially rewarding if you intend to use the flowers for arrangements, as they make excellent cut flowers and even beautiful dried flowers for long-lasting decor.
As the season progresses, keep a close eye on your plants to monitor their health. While they are wonderful for attracting pollinators to your garden, staying observant allows you to catch any emerging issues early. If you notice the plant spreading, it is simply dropping its own seeds to establish new life in the surrounding garden beds.
