Chrysanthemums are one of the world’s most popular and stunning flowers. They are also very affordable flowers for weddings and events. They come in a huge variety of different styles and colors, making them perfect for creating gorgeous floral arrangements.
Chrysanthemum Flower Meaning
Chrysanthemums have a lot of meaning attached to them. In general, chrysanthemums symbolize fidelity, optimism, joy, and a long life. In particular, red mums symbolize love, white mums stand for truth and loyal love, and yellow mums stand for slighted love. The name chrysanthemum is derived from two Greek words which translate to “golden flower.”
Types of Chrysanthemums
Blooms by the Box offers chrysanthemums in a wide range of different varieties. Our Cremon Mums look like large daisies, while Cushion Pompon Mums are slightly smaller and more petal-heavy. Football Mums have petals that curl up toward the sky, giving the blossoms a round, full appearance. Pompon Button Mums are smaller and fluffier, and Pompon Daisy Mums look like classic daisies. Finally, Spider Mums have long, thin petals that stretch out wide in all directions. These flowers come in a variety of colors such as cloud white, lavender, purple, yellow, and green. During the autumn months, chrysanthemums can also be found in beautiful bronze, red, and burgundy, perfect for a pumpkin flower arrangement for Thanksgiving!
How to Care for Chrysanthemums
To ensure that your chrysanthemums last longer, cut the stems at a 45-degree angle before placing them in a vase full of fresh, cool water. Remove any foliage that will sit below the waterline to prevent rotting. Add cut flower food and refresh the water daily.
