When given as gifts, chrysanthemum flowers have different meanings: bronze or orange symbolizes friendship, red stands for love, white symbolizes trust, and yellow suggests a relationship.

Chrysanthemums are not just beautiful; they are also healing. People have been using them for their health benefits in cooking, especially in tea and as garnishes in Japanese dishes. Chrysanthemum tea, with its potential to alleviate high blood pressure issues like headaches and insomnia and its antiseptic properties that can treat infections and skin problems when used as a poultice, is a comforting reminder of the healing power of nature.

Chrysanthemums have a rich history that goes beyond their aesthetic appeal. In ancient times, wearing a chrysanthemum wreath was believed to protect against the anger of the gods. By planting chrysanthemums in your garden or keeping them indoors, you add beauty to your surroundings and invoke the blessings and protection of these flowers. They can also help you seek forgiveness and overcome limiting beliefs, making them more than a decorative plant.
