Build Your Floral Wall With These:

Designed to cluster naturally, like a wild garden. Choose a flower as your design anchor, then grow your custom floral wall with these companions:

A gift for a boss who has a good office and deserves something on the wall that isn’t a corporate motivational print: the Panache Green Spider Mum is a ceramic wall flower in a color that sits between green and not-quite-green, with a form that has been described as a chrysanthemum that decided to become something else and mostly succeeded. Four and a half inches across. One screw, no water. The spider mum variety extends long, reaching petals with slightly curled tips rather than the compact globe of a standard mum — a silhouette that reads well from across a dining room table or an open-plan office. Panache green is the color of something that has made a considered decision about itself. The studio has been producing this variety since 2004 and considers it one of the more quietly confident pieces in the English Garden collection. Carried by the New York Botanical Garden.

How to hang & display

Wall hanging

Works on drywall, plaster, or wood panelling. Drive a small screw at a slight upward angle, leaving the head proud of the wall. Slide the keyhole slot on the back over the screw head, adjust to level. Sits flush — no visible hardware.

No stud? No problem. A drywall anchor rated for the weight works fine.

Displaying a collection

Lay everything out on the floor first. Start with your anchor piece, build outward. Keep 2–3 inches between each piece and aim for the centre of the whole arrangement to land around eye level. Use painter's tape on the wall to map positions before committing to any screws.

Table & shelf display: Equally beautiful propped on a shelf, mantle, or side table. Pair with books, candles, or a small pot.

What people are saying

Nottingham - Ceramic Flower Curated Collection - Chive Ceramics Studio - Ceramic Flower Sets - Chive Ceramics Studio

The Mum That Forgot to Behave

The spider mum is a chrysanthemum that decided to have opinions. The regular chrysanthemum — your orange grocery store mum, your Sarah, your conventional autumn statement — is content to be round and full and readable from a distance. The spider mum looked at this and said: what if instead the petals were long and reaching and slightly curled at the tips like fingers making a point at the end of a very long sentence. The panache green variety adds a color that hasn't quite finished deciding what it wants to be — somewhere between sage and moss, and comfortable staying there. I know this color. I have worn this color. I have been this color during several extended periods of my life that Dr. Wendy and I refer to by year rather than by description because the descriptions became unwieldy and we are both, at this point, busy women. The spider mum has achieved enlightenment through a process that would not be recommended for beginners. In panache green, it carries this achievement quietly, on walls in offices and dining rooms and anywhere else someone decided it belonged. Ceramic was the material for this form because the spider mum had been making its case long enough to deserve something permanent. The vision required a material equal to it.

English Garden Curated Collection - Hackney - Chive Ceramics Studio - Chive Ceramics Studio

Part of the English Garden Collection

The English Garden collection borrows its chaos from cottage beds never pruned into submission — rambling roses, over-full peonies, zinnias that stayed uninvited. Every piece trades one fussy bloom for an overgrown afternoon. The Panache Green Spider Mum is the collection's most unusual bloom, reaching petals and curled tips unlike anything else the line produces.

Browse the English Garden collection.

Two Ways to Display

Every Chive ceramic flower works two ways: mounted vertically as part of a gallery wall that grows one piece at a time, or laid flat across an entryway console or shelf as a tablescape that never needs the water changed. The keyhole on the back handles the wall version; the base handles the surface version. Most people start with one flower and end up needing both configurations before they admit it.

Shop the full ceramic flower collection to start building either one.

Complete the Look

The Hexi Porcelain Pot 4 Inch brings hexagonal geometry to whatever is planted in it, which next to the organic reach of the spider mum petals produces a combination that is either satisfying or should not work but does. Put something architectural in the Hexi Pot. Let the Panache Spider Mum handle the organic side. The studio has been recommending this pairing for years and stands by it.

Curls Nobody Signed Off On

Chive was founded in 2004 in Toronto with a commitment to forms that reward looking at closely — not just from across a room. The spider mum is the English Garden piece that most consistently produces this effect. The reaching petals with their curled tips create a surface that looks different at three feet than it does at twelve, which is not something every ceramic form achieves. Panache green was chosen for this variety through repeated testing against live spider mum material — a color between moss and sage, refined until it held consistently in the kiln. Spider mum petals are formed individually before being set into the base; the tip curl is worked by hand after each petal is placed, which cannot be rushed.

Frequently asked questions

How does a Panache Green Spider Mum hang on the wall?

The Panache Green Spider Mum has a single keyhole mount on the back that goes over one screw in any standard wall surface — drywall, plaster, or wood, no anchor required for most residential or office walls. The piece hangs flush and stays there. The studio has been sending ceramic flowers to office walls since 2004 and considers this the most reliably received product in the boss-gift category.

What is a thoughtful gift idea for a boss?

A thoughtful gift idea for a boss is one that acknowledges their taste without requiring them to do anything with it afterward — the Panache Green Spider Mum is a ceramic wall flower in a green that reads as considered rather than decorative, and it hangs on one screw without demanding maintenance, seasonal replacement, or a conversation about where to keep it during a move.

Is a Panache Spider Mum a good gift for a boss?

The Panache Spider Mum is a good gift for a boss because it reads as a design decision rather than a standard executive gift — the spider mum form and the panache green are specific enough to signal that someone paid attention. Most boss gifts are generic. This one is not. The studio has been hearing this from customers since the spider mum was introduced and considers the specificity the feature.

Does a Panache Spider Mum work as dining room decor?

The Panache Spider Mum works well as dining room decor because the spider mum form has enough architectural interest to read well above a table — the reaching petals create a different profile than the compact globe mums, and the panache green pairs with most dining room palettes without competing for attention. It has appeared in dining rooms consistently since the studio first produced the variety.

Does a Panache Spider Mum work as creative office decor?

The Panache Spider Mum works as creative office decor because the form is architectural without being aggressive — the long reaching petals and panache green read as considered rather than corporate, and the piece does not require anyone to think about it after it is on the wall. The studio has been supplying this variety to creative offices and design practices since 2004 without needing to explain the choice.

What is an office decor piece for an appreciated boss?

An office decor piece for an appreciated boss should have formal interest, stand on its own without requiring context, and not look like it was selected from a lobby gift shop. The Panache Green Spider Mum fits: the form is specific, the color is not generic, and it will still be on the wall in ten years without having required anything from the person who received it.

How long does a Panache Spider Mum last versus a fresh one?

A Panache Spider Mum in ceramic lasts indefinitely — no seasonal decline, no wilting, no decisions about what to do with it after the bloom drops. A fresh spider mum in good conditions lasts one to two weeks. The ceramic version has been on walls since 2004 without a single reported concern about its condition, which the studio considers the most useful data point it can offer about the comparison.

Is a ceramic mum a good gift for a retiring boss?

A ceramic mum is an excellent gift for a retiring boss because it is not consumable — it will still be on the wall in their next office, and the one after that, without asking anything of them. The Panache Green Spider Mum is specific enough to read as a real gift rather than an obligation, ships in a gift box, and hangs on one screw in any wall.
