At Home

Mix chrysanthemums with other summer flowers in old crockery or rough-hewn baskets.

With the many colors of chrysanthemums available, they can be used for all your seasonal decorations.

Mix the sizes of the flowers from "micro-mini" size blossoms to saucer-sized blossoms.

"Spider" type chrysanthemums (often called "Fuji mums") have a distinctive Oriental appearance. A few flowers, placed in a simple design, take the design back to "Ikebana" influences.

Giant "football mums" with incurved petals are unique round, sculptural forms - perfect for home interiors.

"Button" type chrysanthemums are tiny round forms which mix easily with other flowers

Flower Care

For maximum water uptake, avoid pounding or smashing stems. Simply cut the stems with a sharp knife or shears and place immediately into water.

If using in a vase, remove leaves below water line to prevent molding and the growth of bacteria in the water, which inhibits vase life.

You should expect the life span of the blooms to be 7-14 days, even longer if the temperature is cool.

Replace water in vase every 3-4 days to prolong flower life.

Use a flower food in the water to promote the opening of the flowers.
