Gypsophila (baby's breath) delivery in Los Angeles

Gypsophila, better known in the US as baby's breath, carries hundreds of tiny florets, usually white, on fine branching stems. Florists use it to soften roses and fill gaps in a bouquet, and a bunch on its own looks light and cloud-like. For same-day gypsophila delivery in Los Angeles, order by 4:30 PM.

What's in this collection

This is a small collection of six designs: Paradise, Valentines, Wax & Rose, Ruby, Magenta and Real Wax. They are built on roses, peonies, ranunculus and hydrangea, and some add eucalyptus or wax flower for a lighter edge. Each product page lists its flowers, so check the description if a particular bloom matters to you.

When to send baby's breath

Baby's breath fits romantic gestures, bridal showers and new-baby gifts. Because it is light and delicate, it works best as a companion to a bigger flower rather than the star of the gift. For a fuller romantic bouquet, browse our rose bouquets; for weddings, see our bridal bouquets.

How to care for baby's breath

Gypsophila is easy to keep. Strip any leaves that would sit below the waterline, then recut the stems and change the water every three days, or sooner if it turns cloudy. Keep the bouquet out of direct sun and away from heat. Our flower care guide covers the roses and other flowers it is usually paired with.

Can you dry baby's breath?

Yes, it dries well. Hang small bunches upside down in a dry, dark spot for a week or two. The florets keep their shape for months, though the white fades toward cream.
