Football Mum Lavender

Common Names: Incurve Mum, Chrysanthemum

Soft in color and bold in size, the lavender football mum makes a great addition to many bouquets, centerpieces, and decorative floral arrangements. Measuring anywhere from 4 inches to 6 inches, football mums are a pretty alternative to peonies, hydrangeas, and other voluminous blooms, and cost a fraction of the price. The lovely lavender-pink color has a ladylike presence to it, making it popular for weddings, bridal showers, and springtime celebratory occasions. You have endless options when it comes to integrating this hardy bloom into your designs. Nothing says romance like a soft palette of lavender mums, spray roses, pink stock, and white lisianthus. If rustic is more of what you are looking to create, lavender football mums can serve this need as well; simply group together your choice of mums with wax flowers, ranunculus, stems of lavender and accents of dusty miller arranged in a Mason jar or tin watering can for a fresh-from-the-garden arrangement that exudes personality.
