A Red for the Season
Santini chrysanthemums provide lots of flowers and excellent shelf life and even better when it is a velvet red color in December!

Create Art with Italian Anemones
Oh how spectacular Italian anemones cane be! Mistral Bordeaux and Mistral Panda make for glorious Christmas centerpieces. Mistral Panda’s pure white petal always stand out.
