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”.

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. You can always contact us or check out our flower FAQ.
