Gypsophila
For many customers, there is only one flower that accompanies red roses, and this is it: Gypsophila.
However, as well as a range of white varieties to choose from there are the very natural looking absorbed Gypsophilia stems. This natural look happens as the environmentally friendly dyes are drunk up by the stems allowing the flower heads change colours in a way that gives a subtle look that is almost impossible to tell it’s not the varieties original colour.
Looking for an alternative colour with a bit more pow? Gypsophilia is one of the flowers that is painted in a whole range of colours throughout the year.
