Tiny flowers on delicate stems create intricate multi-branching clusters at the ends of the stems. While most flowers are white, some varieties may exhibit a light pink hue. Notably, white cultivars have the potential to take on shades of pink, a transformation attributed to colder growing temperatures before their harvest. Stems of these delicate flowers typically measure between 24 to 36 inches (61-91 cm) in length. The unique combination of delicate flowers and the potential for color variation adds a charming and nuanced dimension to floral arrangements.
Gypsophila, commonly known as Baby's Breath, holds the position of being the most popular filler used in various bouquets and design work. Its versatility is evident as it effortlessly blends with all types of flowers, imparting a light and airy appearance to arrangements. Small clusters of blossoms from Baby's Breath also contribute to the charm of wedding bouquets, corsages, floral headpieces, and garland designs.
It's important to note that misting Gypsophila may lead to blossom browning, so this practice should be avoided. While Baby's Breath dries easily and well, it's crucial to be mindful of the high levels of ethylene gas it generates during the drying process. To ensure proper drying, it's recommended to do so in a well-ventilated area, away from other flowers, allowing Baby's Breath to retain its delicate beauty for various decorative purposes.
