The flower language of gypsophila is "gratitude", and shipments are at their peak ahead of Mother's Day. 41 farmers in the Kikuchi area in the northern part of the prefecture cultivate gypsophile in a total of 23 hectares.
A total of 325.000 million bottles are expected to be shipped to markets nationwide, mainly in the Kanto region, this season. This season is of good quality due to the warmth and sufficient amount of sunlight in March, according to JA Kikuchi.
