Why Chrysanthemums Matter in Vietnam
Chrysanthemums (hoa cúc) are among the most culturally significant flowers in Vietnam, tied to longevity, respect, and family tradition. They appear across an unusually wide range of occasions — Tet decoration, sympathy flowers, Mother's Day, birthdays, and grand openings — because their meaning shifts meaningfully by color, letting one flower family serve very different emotional purposes.
