Everlasting love
Gypsophila is a cloud of tiny white flowers that gives any bouquet lightness. On its own it makes a full bouquet, and it dries beautifully.
Children: The sap can irritate skin. Wash your hands after handling it.
Pets: Mostly safe, but may cause a mild stomach upset in pets if eaten.

How to care for it
- Don’t mist it; water on the tiny flowers causes browning.
- Remove plastic sleeves promptly and don’t overcrowd the vase.
- To dry it, hang it upside down somewhere well ventilated.
Did you know? Gypsophila means “gypsum-loving” in Greek, after its liking for chalky soils.
