Chrysanthemums — "mums" for short — are among the most versatile and long-lasting flowers around, but their meaning shifts depending on where you are. Here's how to gift them well in Dubai.
What they symbolise
In much of the world chrysanthemums stand for joy, loyalty and long life, which makes them lovely for celebrations and get-well wishes. One thing worth knowing: in parts of Europe and East Asia they're associated with remembrance, so keep them for upbeat occasions when gifting across cultures.
Why people love them
They come in a huge range of colours and forms — including the fun, spherical "ping pong" variety — and they last remarkably long in a vase, which makes them great value. See our chrysanthemum collection.
