The Gypsophila genus, commonly known as Baby’s Breath, is a delicate and airy member of the Caryophyllaceae family. These herbaceous perennials and annuals are celebrated for their profusion of tiny, star-shaped flowers in shades of white or pale pink, which create a soft, cloud-like effect in gardens and floral arrangements. Gypsophila is perfect for adding texture and lightness to borders, rock gardens, and cut flower displays.
Native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa, Gypsophila thrives in well-drained, alkaline soils and sunny locations. These drought-tolerant plants are ideal for low-maintenance gardens and dry, rocky areas. Popular species such as Gypsophila paniculata, or Perennial Baby’s Breath, and Gypsophila elegans, or Annual Baby’s Breath, are particularly valued for their long flowering periods and versatility in garden design.
The Gypsophila genus combines beauty, resilience, and timeless charm, making it a favourite for gardeners and florists seeking graceful, low-maintenance plants with a delicate aesthetic.
