Often referred to as 'chrysanths' or 'mums', these long-lasting flowers are popular for their kaleidoscope of colors and array of bloom types. In fact, some varieties are so different, it's hard to believe they're the same species. Whichever your favorites, discover the simple ways to take care of chrysanthemums in a vase, with advice from our experts. 

From incurve and pompons to spoons, spiders, cascades and quills, chrysanthemums can look elegant and formal, simple and stylish (like giant daisies) or spectacular (with giant dual-toned florets).
