FOOTBALL MUMS:

When one thinks of ‘Fall Flowers’ Chrysanthemums are one of the first wholesale flowers to come to mind. The smell of these flowers brings to mind the change of seasons, Halloween, and Thanksgiving. Wholesale Football Mums from The Grower’s Box are widely purchased for resale or for use as wedding flowers.

An interesting tidbit is that some claim that the name ‘Football Mum’ was derived from on of America’s favorite fall sports… FOOTBALL! For MANY years football fans have pinned these flowers to their jackets as it was believed that the flowers brought good luck to their home team. To this day football mums (also known as ‘homecoming mums) are widely popular in the Southwest (especially in Texas and Oklahoma).

These LARGE football mums are grown in California and are available in yellow, white, lavender, and bronze. The flower itself stands about 24” tall and the blooms measure about 4” to 4.5” in diameter (they will continue to open a little more once in water). These flowers are available in boxes of 50 stems, 100 stems, and 200 stems.

LARGE SUNFLOWERS:

Throughout the generations Sunflowers have stood for, and continue to stand for, loyalty and longevity. In ancient cultures these flowers were symbolic of the sun, and radiate the warmth and light produced therein.

The face on these large Sunflowers measures on average between 2.5” and 3” in diameter. Blooms are typically in excess of 6″ in outside diameter.
