Chrysanthemum (Santini, Mum) - The Chrysanthemum, popularly known as 'mum', is the true hero of autumn floristry. While other flowers end their season, the chrysanthemum brings vibrant colors and amazing texture. Thanks to its legendary longevity, it is a cornerstone for all arrangements that must endure and represent.
Expert Florist's View: Texture and Symbolism
As florists, we love chrysanthemums for two reasons:
-
Texture: The small inflorescences (Santini) are ideal for adding volume and rich texture to mixed bouquets.
-
Symbolism: In Europe, the chrysanthemum is a traditional symbol of remembrance and dignity, making it the first choice for funeral arrangements and All Souls' Day decorations. In Asia, it is a symbol of happiness.
Tip from Jana (Our Specialist in funeral and large arrangements): "When creating funeral wreaths, the chrysanthemum is irreplaceable. Its flowers guarantee that the entire arrangement remains fresh and dignified. I like to combine its texture with the elegance of calla lilies, lilies, and fir branches."
