We’re all familiar with the baby’s breath plant, from bridal bouquets to cut flower arrangements that use the small, delicate white flowers, fresh or dried, to fill in around larger blooms.

Baby’s breath is the star of the cutting garden, providing delicate little blooms that dress up floral arrangements, (and your garden). If you have access to a mature baby’s breath plant, growing cuttings from baby’s breath is easy.

Growing baby’s breath from seed will result in clouds of the delicate blooms within a year. This perennial plant is easy to grow and low maintenance.

Gypsophila is also referred to as Baby’s Breath. These plants are hardy annuals that are commonly used in cut flower arrangements.

The flowers are most commonly white but also come in pink or rose colors. The plant comes in dwarf varieties as well as tall plants that get up to two feet tall and wide.

Gypsophila is a genus of flowering plants in the carnation family, Caryophyllaceae. They are native to Eurasia, Africa, Australia, and the Pacific Islands.

Turkey has a particularly high diversity of Gypsophila taxa, with about 35 endemic species. Some Gypsophila are introduced species in other regions.

We’ll be sharing more about this flower in future.
