My mom has a green thumb and grows beautiful chrysanthemum plants in her yard. Many years ago, I remember seeing her pinch the tips to encourage flower growth, staking and tying the plants up for support. The most beautiful color that I’ve seen is a golden yellow and burgundy color. This particular flower reminds me of a variation of spider mum but in smaller proportions.
Falloween Chrysanthemum Flower Arrangement
The chrysanthemum is a gardeners delight in the late summer and fall. The colorful flowers are commonly used in floral arrangements with shades of white, yellow, red and purple. They are very easy to grow and propagate. They vary in growth habits, color and forms. The blooms range from a large puffy spider mum to a small button mum. Their height ranges from 12 to 40 inches, spread from 12 to 24 inches, mounded or upright.
When I see chrysanthemums it reminds me of my mom along with all of the other beautiful flowers in her yard.

Thank you for visiting and enjoying my blog. I enjoy writing about topics that I can relate to and gives a more personal touch. My mom is a very special lady in my life and she is very creative too. Her garden is planted with many variety of flowers and fruit trees. For example, she would just take a few branches of flowering peach blossoms and designs a very simple but beautiful arrangement.
My mom used to use this trick as well! Interesting… Thanks!
Wow! I love the displays you’ve created, especially the use of winter veg. It looks so attractive and just goes to show that so many exciting things grow in the fall and winter that everyone should really make more of a show of them.

New Port Richey Floristnext chrysanthemums are just beautiful. I am a floral designer and love to read topics on Gardens and arrangements and learn what i can. I have also heard of pinching the tops, but i always thought that was for making the flower grow wide instead of tall. But my main concept is to use chrysanthemums in my funeral and wedding arrangements. Have you ever made an arrangement of this nature? could you load some photos for me to see please, if not i understand. thanks patty, your friend in floral Jodi… ps have u heard of the black tulip yet?
im sorry i gave the wrong website link here is the corrected one patty.
