Send Chrysanthemum. FREE Weekday Chrysanthemum Delivery Online.

Chrysanthemum is name for a large number of annual or perennial herbs of the genus Chrysanthemum of the family Asteraceae (aster family), some cultivated in Asia for at least 2,000 years.

The chrysanthemum is the floral emblem of the imperial family of Japan; the highest officials are honoured by orders of the chrysanthemum. So if you know anyone who is Japanese, why not Send Chrysanthemum to them.

The flower heads are mostly late blooming and of various shades of red, yellow, and white; they range from single daisy-like to large rounded or shaggy heads.

Chrysanthemums were introduced to England in the late 18th cent., and today innumerable named horticultural types exist. Most are varieties of C. morifolium, a species of indeterminate origin and no longer known in the wild form.

Chrysanthemums rank with roses in commercial importance as cut flowers and pot and garden plants. The pyrethrum, feverfew, and daisy belong to the same genus. Pyrethrum is used as an insecticide and feverfew as an herbal remedy for migraine.

Cut chrysanthemums make wonderful bouquets and are surely worthy of consideration when you decide to send flowers as a gift. As an online florist with an online flower shop we would certainly recommend a chrysanthemum bouquet for that special flower delivery.
