Preserved Baby’s Breath
Mini Gyp is more commonly known as baby’s breath in the floral industry. Our baby’s breath is a herbaceous perennial native to central and eastern Europe and our seed is from the State of Washington. This flower prefers well-drained alkaline to neutral soil in full sun.
Our Preserved Baby’s Breath is Beautiful
Its stems are covered with tiny white flowers in summer, giving it the name of baby’s breath. The fullness of the plant makes it a popular backdrop and filler in floral arrangements. It is often simply referred to as “gyp” in the floral industry.
