The Majesty of Chrysanthemums: Unraveling Their Meaning and Mastering Their Care
Chrysanthemums, often referred to as “mums,” are not just beautiful blooms; they hold a rich history and symbolism that spans centuries. Originating from East Asia, these majestic flowers have captivated cultures around the world with their striking beauty and diverse array of colors and forms. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, chrysanthemums also carry deep meanings and require specific care to flourish. Let’s delve into the fascinating world of chrysanthemums, uncovering their symbolism and mastering the art of their cultivation.
The Symbolism of Chrysanthemums
Chrysanthemums are imbued with various meanings across different cultures. In many Eastern cultures, they symbolize longevity, joy, and happiness, making them popular choices for festive celebrations and gifts of goodwill. In Japan, the chrysanthemum is the national flower and is highly revered as a symbol of the imperial family. It represents perfection, dignity, and noble character.
In Western culture, chrysanthemums are often associated with positivity, optimism, and friendship. They are frequently gifted as tokens of affection or used to convey well wishes during times of celebration or recovery. However, chrysanthemums can also symbolize mourning and remembrance in some European countries, particularly in relation to All Saints’ Day and funerals.
Colors and Shapes
The name comes from the Greek words chrys (gold) and anthemom (flower). The original colour of the Chrysanthemum was gold, but nowadays it comes in many different colours. Consumers can choose from warm yellow gold, bronze and orange to greens. But also for subtle whites, pinks and purples.
The Chrysanthemum blooms are divided into 10 different blooms. From pompon, the form is full double, to spider form where the disk florets are concealed.
How to Care For Chrysanthemums
CARE TIPS FOR FLORISTS:
You can combine the Chrysanthemum with almost any other flower but especially with Rose and Anthurium. This combination give you an outstanding bouquet.
- Use clean containers and tools
- Remove the wrapping, recut stems and remove foliage which will sit under the water line before placing into a solution of flower food
- Provide your customers with sufficient sachets of flower food with their bouquet.
- Chrysanthemums, like all cut flowers, are sensitive to draughts and direct heat, so give consideration where you display your blooms.
