Green Anastasia Spider Mum Flower

Designing Tips for Green Spider Mums – from Whole Blossoms

Green spider mums (a variety of Chrysanthemum morifolium) are known for their unique spiky petals and bright chartreuse color. Their dramatic texture and color make them a standout in both contemporary and natural floral designs.

• Bold Texture & Shape: Use green spider mums to add spiky, dynamic form to arrangements. Their long, curling petals contrast beautifully with softer flowers like roses, peonies, and lisianthus.
• Color Contrast: Pair with whites, purples, or deep burgundies for a striking visual palette. They also look stunning against tropical greens and succulents.
• Modern Elegance: Ideal for structured, modern centerpieces or tall arrangements. Their symmetry and texture offer a clean, high-impact look.
• Focal or Accent: Use as a bold focal flower in minimalist bouquets, or as a striking secondary bloom in larger installations and standing sprays.
• Versatile Use: Perfect for wedding centerpieces, event arches, sympathy arrangements, or holiday décor. Also works well in foam-based designs and long-lasting displays.
• Complementary Florals: Combine with ornamental kale, hypericum berries, orchids, or tulips to create an upscale, designer look with rich color and depth.

Care & Handling for Green Spider Mums – from Whole Blossoms

To ensure maximum freshness and longevity, follow these detailed care instructions:

Upon Arrival:

• Unpack Immediately: Remove flowers from the box carefully and allow them to breathe. Gently loosen bunches to prevent compression damage.
• Re-cut Stems: Trim 1–2 inches from the bottom of each stem at a 45° angle under clean, running water to promote hydration.

Hydration:

• Place in Clean Water: Fill sanitized buckets or vases with room-temperature water and add floral preservative.
• Hydrate for 4–6 Hours: Allow blooms to drink in a cool, shaded area before arranging. Full hydration ensures maximum bloom and strength.

Storage:

• Cool Storage Preferred: Keep flowers at 36–46°F in a well-ventilated cooler or refrigerator. Avoid freezing conditions or proximity to fans or heat vents.
• Change Water Every 2–3 Days: Recut stems and replace with fresh water to prevent bacterial buildup and maximize vase life.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Store arrangements away from direct sunlight, drafts, and ripening fruit (ethylene gas shortens vase life).
• Provide Air Circulation: Ensure that air flows around the flowers to prevent mold or mildew, especially in dense arrangements or box storage.
• Keep Tools Clean: Always use sanitized cutting tools and containers to prevent stem blockage and water contamination.
