How to Care for Baby’s Breath
When your baby’s breath arrives, it will be wrapped in plastic. Remove this as soon as possible to ensure your flowers stay fresh. To prepare your flowers for a long vase life, fill your vase with at least 4 inches of water and add flower preservative. Pull off any foliage that will sit below the waterline to prevent decomposition and keep the water clear. Under running water, cut the ends of the stems at a diagonal angle to encourage rehydration. For the best, most long-lasting results, keep your baby's breath out of direct sunlight and drafts. Baby’s breath can also be dried after your event to be enjoyed for years to come.
Baby’s Breath Meaning
Baby's breath, or the flowers of the Gypsophila genus, are named for their ability to thrive in soil with high levels of gypsum. Because they flourish in a difficult environment, these beautiful flowers represent everlasting love, whether it be familial, romantic, or platonic. As a symbol of purity, newborn babies, and self-discipline, baby’s breath can also be a meaningful way to connect with long-lost family members and lovers. No matter which meaning speaks to you, this flower will make a perfect addition to your special day.
Types of Baby’s Breath
While the classic white variety is popular for its versatility, we also offer a wide variety of colored baby's breath. Pink, green, blue, purple, orange, burgundy, and yellow gypsophila are all perfect for adding a pop of color to any arrangement. Our **Million Star** variety is a popular filler that features hundreds of tiny, tight blooms in a bunch. **Overtime** gypsophila has a slightly larger bloom that's a bit more frilly and romantic. And our **Xlence** variety is a newer type with heartier and longer-lasting blooms, making it a perfect choice for all-day events during the hot summer months.
