Florist & Wholesaler Information

  • Gypsophila is a member of the Caryophyllaceae family. Close cut- flower relatives include Dianthus (carnations, spray carnations, sweet Williams) and Saponaria (soapwort).
  • The introduction of Millionstar has revolutionized the gypsophilia market . It's higher price largely reflects the cost of royalties which growers must pay to the Israeli breeder.
  •  Other improved varieties such as "New Love" are just starting to be introduced in the marketplace.
  • Mirabella is another new perfecta type variety.
  • Very few growers produce the old Perfecta variety anymore.
  • TIP : If you recieve a tighter than usual cut Gyp at, let's say Valentines Day, cut and hydrate in very warm water and floral preservative covered in plastic ( to retain warmth and humidity) out of the cooler and it will usually open well in 24 hours.
