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:


Narcissus flower meaning has nothing to do with vanity and everything to do with showing up dependably in the one month that arrives with everyone's expectations already packed. This apricot narcissus is the color of candlelight and old ornaments, the same color as that one specific hour when the people you love are all in the same room and nobody's on their phone. Six flat outer petals around a small cupped center, hand-shaped and glazed to hold that warm apricot tone right through the darkest part of winter. Each piece is finished by hand at the Chive workshop and mounted flat, so that particular hour stays on the wall long after the room empties out and the dishes are done. Filoli has hosted narcissus displays through the winter months for years, proof that a flower this quiet can still anchor an entire room on its own. It doesn't last outside. This one doesn't have to. Chive has believed in that specific hour since 2004.

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.

One Good Hour in December

December arrives with everyone's expectations already packed, opinions about the luggage, questions about where things go and whether you've thought about next year — which you have, which you always have, which is exactly why everything ends up where it's supposed to be. Somewhere in the middle of all that logistics, there's usually one hour that isn't logistics at all — the room warm, the people you love actually in it, nobody checking a phone. The narcissus has always been the flower for that specific hour, not the whole month, just the part of it worth keeping. This apricot narcissus holds that exact color — candlelight, old ornaments, that one hour when everything finally slows down — in six flat outer petals around a small cupped center, hand-shaped and glazed to keep that warm apricot tone right through the darkest part of winter. It doesn't last outside past a week or two. This one doesn't have to. It just stays on the wall, holding that hour indefinitely, long after the room has emptied out and the dishes are finally done. The room won't stay that quiet for long. This is the part that's built to remember it after everyone's gone back to their phones.

The Birth Flower Collection

The Birth Flower collection built its logic around one fact everyone knows about themselves — the month they were born — turned into a bloom claiming that meaning for centuries. Every piece trades a generic gift for one already assigned. The small cupped center sits inside six flat outer petals, glazed to hold that candlelit apricot tone long after the actual candles in the room have burned all the way down to nothing.

Two Ways to Display It

Every Chive ceramic flower works two ways: mounted vertically as a growing gallery wall, or laid flat as a no-water tablescape. An Apricot Narcissus anchors an entryway confidently by itself, and it also completes a full twelve-month run of Birth Flowers if the rest of the family's months are already up. No seasonal takedown needed either way. It goes up with a single screw and keeps that candlelit hour going indefinitely, long after the actual holidays have ended.

Mini Mofo Hanging Planter Light Grey

December rarely leaves room for anything demanding, plant-related or otherwise, on anyone's actual to-do list. Light Grey asks for exactly nothing beyond an occasional glance in its general direction. It hangs comfortably near the narcissus, holding whatever's still green through the holidays without adding one more responsibility to a month already full of them. It just hangs there, quietly, asking nothing of anyone.

A Glow the Candles Don't Have to Provide

One good hour in December is worth building something permanent around, and that's more or less been Chive's whole argument since 2004. Getting an apricot glaze this specific — candlelit, not sunset — takes real, unhurried attention from people who shape and finish every piece by hand, in small batches, rather than rushing a whole run out the door before the holiday deadline hits. Nothing about this needs the entire holiday season to justify why it exists on a wall. It just holds onto the one actual hour that mattered, long after the room has emptied out, the dishes are done, and everyone's gone quiet for the night. That focus has stayed fixed on the same hour, December after December, without wavering.

Frequently asked questions

What are good last-minute gift ideas for a December birthday?

This apricot narcissus ships gift-ready all year round, not only during the holiday scramble everyone dreads, which makes 'last-minute' considerably less stressful than it usually gets around this time of year. Good last-minute gift ideas for a December birthday are mostly a myth by mid-month, since everything worth having is either sold out or shipping well past the actual date.

What does a narcissus mean as a December birthday gift?

A narcissus means new beginnings as a December birthday gift, which is a genuinely generous assignment for a month that's mostly just trying to survive its own overstuffed guest list. Someone born now gets a flower about fresh starts squeezed into the one month least equipped to offer any at all. The symbolism quietly does some real lifting there.

Is an Apricot Narcissus a good 8th anniversary gift?

An Apricot Narcissus makes a good 8th anniversary gift, since the warm apricot tone reads as candlelit and intentional rather than generically festive, which matters for an anniversary trying hard not to get lost inside December's other obligations. It stands apart from all the holiday noise happening around it, on its own terms, without competing for attention.

Is a ceramic narcissus a good gift for a pottery lover?

A ceramic narcissus makes a good gift for a pottery lover, since each petal is shaped and glazed by hand to hold that specific warm tone rather than mass-produced from a single repeating mold. December gifts don't usually get that level of scrutiny — this one genuinely earns it anyway. It rewards someone who'd actually notice that difference on close inspection.

Does the December birth flower ship ready for Christmas gifting?

The December birth flower ships ready for Christmas gifting, which matters more this particular month than any other month of the year, since a late package in December means an empty spot under the tree on the actual day. This one arrives finished and boxed well ahead of the usual holiday shipping panic everyone dreads each year.

Does a ceramic narcissus work as entryway wall decor?

A ceramic narcissus works well as entryway wall decor, greeting whoever's walking in during the one month when the entryway is doing the absolute most work — coats, boots, guests, all of it at once. It adds real warmth to the exact spot getting the most December foot traffic in the entire house, by a wide margin.

Is a ceramic narcissus a longer-lasting December gift than a pendant?

A ceramic narcissus is a longer-lasting December gift than a pendant, mostly because a pendant gets set aside the first time its clasp catches on a holiday sweater sleeve. This one stays mounted and fully visible straight through the entire season, doing its one job without ever being taken off and quietly misplaced somewhere in a drawer.

Is a ceramic narcissus a good Christmas gift for a flower lover?

A ceramic narcissus makes a good Christmas gift for a flower lover, capturing that specific hour — candlelight, old ornaments, everyone finally in one room together — that December is actually for, underneath all the logistics and errands. It's less about the holiday itself and more about the one moment genuinely worth having inside it, quietly, at the end of the day.
