Chrysanthemum Collection

The chrysanthemum is recognizable by its volume: a dense head, round or cascading, that fills a vase with just a few stems. The collection brings together perfectly spherical Ping Pong, tightly petaled Tokyo, Spider with cascading filaments and the more classic Mum.

Recognizing the four heads

Ping Pong forms a full, regular ball, almost geometric. Tokyo keeps short, tight petals, Mum opens more widely, and Spider lets long filaments fall, adding movement. A bouquet benefits from pairing a round shape with a cascading one rather than two varieties of the same volume.

Few stems, lots of impact

Because the head is dense, three to five stems already fill a medium vase. Stagger the heights to avoid a straight line, and turn the heads outward so none hides behind another. The arrangement that already comes with its foliage plays this role on its own on a side table.

Warm shades when the light fades

The collection's warm tones, from ochre to burgundy, warm up a room as soon as the days get shorter. In a matte vase, stoneware or terracotta, they stay understated. On dark furniture, choose light shades, which stand out instead of blending into the wood.

Frequently asked questions

How many stems do you need for a vase?

Allow three stems in a narrow vase and five in a wide neck. Since the heads are large, one extra stem is enough to throw the bouquet off balance.

What is the difference between a Ping Pong and a Tokyo?

Ping Pong forms a closed, very regular sphere. Tokyo stays flatter, with short petals that open like a crown around the center.

Can the stems be shortened?

Yes, but do it a little at a time: a shortened stem cannot be lengthened again. Hold it against the vase first to mark the cut.
