Gysophila

Gypsophila, otherwise known as Baby's Breath or simply 'Gyp' in the floristry trade, is a genus of the Caryophyllaceae family. Gypsophila naturally grows on calcium rich soils including gypsum - hence the name gypsophila! It's botanical name literally means 'lover of chalk'.

Gypsophila is important in the flower industry and is commonly used as a filler, creating a softening effect aswell. The flowers are tiny, depending on the variety between 3 - 10mm in diameter, and there are 1000's on each branched stem.

Gypsophila is commonly used in the USA to decorate childrens hair at occasions such as weddings. It is also a very popular wedding flower in the UK.

In the wholesale flower markets gypsophila is sold in wraps of 25 stems and is available in a number of varieties, grades and stem lengths. As a rule of thumb, the taller the stem length, the better the quality.
