In visiting the sick and making bouquets I raised plantings of perennial Tyres the seed in moist sandy soil. The first year yielded stocky plants with fine roots, the second year produced a crawling bush and white blossoms with bits of baby breath. Regular mulching maintained moisture and reduced weeds, enabling lasting blooms for arrangements. Perennial care emphasized heavy watering and leaf litter mulch to protect against summer dryness, with baby breath and white blooms shaping a pleasing border for taller plants behind. The border proved very hardy, remaining in protected borders for five years with larger blooms each year.
