Florist Andrea's Tip (Seasonal Style): "I love using large-headed Chrysanthemums like the 'Anastasia' spider variety to create high-impact autumn bouquets. They provide a volume and architectural flair that other flowers simply can't match. While they remain a classic for funeral flowers due to their dignity, they are having a major comeback in modern mixed bouquets. With a vase life of up to 21 days, they are the best value-for-money choice in our cut flowers by stem collection."
