Alternatives to Tall Baby's Breath

Only the perennial species paniculata  is on the Alberta Weed Control Act and is implicated in rangeland invasion. So other Baby's Breath and those ornamentals with a similar effect in the landscape are great alternatives.

Picture
Filigran Russian Sage - one of my favorite landscape plants. Looks great in the fall. Good combination with Rudbeckias, Karl Foerester, and Lythrums. Great in massed plantings.
Picture
Rosea Creeping Baby's Breath - a perennial, not on weed lists, less prone to tumble. Still, remember to cut off in the fall, bag and dispose in landfill.

Hewitt's Double Meadow Rue

White Creeping Baby's Breath - a perennial, not on weed lists, less prone to tumble. Still, remember to cut off in the fall, bag and dispose in landfill.
Picture
German Statice - almost a look a like for baby's breath, but smaller head and no strong fragrance.
