In the world of floristry, the daisy is a symbol of lightness, naturalness, and sincerity. But did you know that what is often called a daisy in bouquets is actually tanacetum? It is a related, yet independent plant with its own history and character.
We, the florists of XOstudio FLOWERS in Chisinau, love working with tanacetum for its decorative qualities, durability, and versatility. Tanacetum withstands transport well during delivery and maintains freshness for a long time.
What is tanacetum and why is it called a daisy?
Tanacetum is a member of the Asteraceae family, a close relative of the chamomile (Matricaria), but it differs by more abundant flowering and a variety of forms.
In floristry, Tanacetum parthenium is widely used – the classic "daisy" with simple flowers, a light fragrance, and good durability. There is also tanacetum with denser and more complex inflorescences, resembling a mini-chrysanthemum: compact, fluffy flowers with many small petals. They give the bouquet expressive volume, texture, and richness of composition while preserving its charming simplicity.
These types are valued for their endurance in cut arrangements, ability to hold shape, and pleasant fragrance that does not compete with the main flowers of the bouquet.
What does tanacetum pair well with in bouquets?
Tanacetum is a versatile companion in floral arrangements. At XOstudio FLOWERS, we enjoy combining it with roses and peonies to create a contrast between classic and simple. Chamomile works beautifully when paired with eucalyptus, adding airiness and freshness. Lavender enhances the fragrance and gives a subtle field note to the floral composition. When combined with matthiola and delphinium, the chamomile-tanacetum gains a certain noble elegance. Its white-and-yellow palette fits organically into rustic, boho, and minimalist bouquets – trends particularly popular in Chisinau.
"Secrets" of XOstudio FLOWERS florists
We use tanacetum both as an accent and as a background at the same time. It highlights the main flowers and makes the composition airy. We are not afraid to mix it with greenery and dried flowers. This adds depth and mystery.
In bridal bouquets, tanacetum emphasizes the novelty and sacredness of the moment. Its tenderness and simplicity create an atmosphere of lightness and naturalness. Especially if the wedding takes place outdoors or in an ethnic style.
We recommend keeping tanacetum flowers in a cool place and changing the water daily so that the bouquet pleases for a longer time.
Who is Tanacetum given to?
Tanacetum is a gift for those who value sincerity and naturalness without showiness. Give bouquets with tanacetum to your loved ones to wish them health, joy, and the simplicity of happiness. They are often chosen for young women and girls, as their clusters of flowers in an armful demonstrate a sweet childlike innocence.
