When Should I Order Double White Chrysanthemums?

We recommend delivery 2-3 days before the event or tribute work. This allows time for the flowers to hydrae fully and for any tight heads to open. Chrysanthemums are hardy and reliable, but should still be conditioned corectly before use.

Common Problems & Solutions

 

Wilting heads: Usually caused by dehydration or lack of water uptake. Re-cut the stems and place into fresh, clean water.
Damaged petals: Remove any marked or damaged outer petals before using.
Short vase life: Often caused by bacteria build-up, dirty buckets or leaves sitting below the waterline.
Heads too tight: Allow extra time for the flowers to hydrate and open naturally.
