Arrangements with Button Poms

Button Poms, scientifically known as Chrysanthemum morifolium, are delightful small flowers characterized by their compact, round shape and vibrant colors. These blooms are a variety of chrysanthemum and are widely appreciated for their ability to add texture and fullness to floral arrangements.

Button Poms typically feature a dense cluster of petals, forming a spherical shape that resembles a button, hence their name. They come in a wide array of colors including white, yellow, pink, and green, making them versatile for various themes and occasions. Their small size makes them ideal for filling in gaps in bouquets, providing a lush, complete look.

Beyond their aesthetic appeal, Button Poms hold cultural significance in many parts of the world. In floral symbolism, they represent cheerfulness and optimism, often used in celebratory arrangements. These flowers are also easy to care for, making them a popular choice for both professional florists and home enthusiasts.

To ensure the longevity of your Button Poms, start by trimming the stems at a 45-degree angle, removing about an inch. This helps increase the surface area for water absorption. Use a clean, sharp knife or scissors to avoid crushing the stems.

• Place the flowers in a clean vase filled with fresh, lukewarm water mixed with floral preservative.
• Change the water every 2-3 days to prevent bacterial growth, and re-trim the stems slightly each time.
• Keep the vase in a cool location, away from direct sunlight, drafts, and fruit, which can emit ethylene gas and shorten the flowers' lifespan.

With these care tips, Button Poms can last up to 7-12 days, bringing continuous joy to your space.
