Long-Lasting Flowers for Gravesites - Gifford Monument
Visiting your loved one’s memorial is a very sentimental event. Many people bring fresh flowers to honor their loved ones. Luckily, if you’re looking for…
Chrysanthemums
Chrysanthemums are known for being resistant to cold weather and needing very little maintenance to thrive. If you want them to last even longer, you should plant them at the gravesite in the summer and fall and trim the stems when the season ends.
Geraniums
Geraniums are usually bright-colored, so they bring a lot of colors and cheer to the monuments. They are continuously blossoming and can survive a light frost. If you properly maintain the flowers by clipping dead blossoms and pruning the stems, the geraniums can last several growing seasons.
Bulbs
Bulbs can take 12 to 15 weeks to bloom, but they are perfect for bringing to your loved one’s monument. Typically, bulbs bloom each growing season without any upkeep. The bulbs with the best chance of growing heartily during the spring and summer are daffodils, lilies, and freesia bulbs.
