Chrysanthemums.
Long lasting, and affordable. Chrysanthemums are available in many colours and, although some varieties have a single head, many types have up to 20 heads per stem. Even the single head types usually have larger blooms. These are excellent flowers to give an impressive sized gift of flowers, even on a budget, as the colours can be mixed.
Chrysanthemum bouquets start from £10.00 (including free delivery locally)
I will post more chrysanthemum types soon on this blog.
