CHRYSANTHEMUM
About the Chrysanthemum: Chrysanthemums, often popularly
referred to as mums, belong to the daisy family. They were introduced
in the United States during colonial times, and have become so popular
that they are now known as the "Queen of the Fall Flowers."
The name “Chrysanthemum” comes from the Greek word,
“chrysos,” meaning “gold.” These flowers
have played a significant role in Japanese and Chinese cultures.
In Germany, the Chrysanthemum decorates homes on Christmas Eve,
in connection with the birth of Christ. Chrysanthemums today exist
in many colors and combinations, and are available in some divine
colors like amazing lime green or stunning burnt russet.
Arranging and Caring for Chrysanthemums:
• Chrysanthemums easily last for two to three weeks if kept
in fresh water.
• Replenish with flower food every 1-2 days.
• Remove any drooping or damaged buds to ensure the rest of
the head keeps its freshness.
