Baby's Breath
(Gypsophila paniculata)
Baby's Breath is an ornamental perennial introduced from Europe in the late 1800's.
In winter the stems break off and are blown about by the wind - just like tumbleweeds. Seed is then spread to pastures, agricultural fields & natural areas where new infestations grow.
Distribution
It is now widespread across Canada and the northern United States.
