[Ball Seed cultivar profile](https://ballseed.com/Products/043100001050161/garden-mum-milkshake-banana-yellow) ## Flowers and placement Use this cultivar in a sunny border or container for late-summer and autumn color. Ball lists it for natural-season and black-cloth production in pot sizes from 4 to 12 inches, as well as hanging baskets. Published flowering dates are production schedules; local outdoor timing varies with climate and planting date. ## Light, water and size Ball lists sun exposure and medium water needs. Its cultivar profile gives USDA zones 6a–11, a mature height of 14–24 inches and a spread of 20–36 inches. Keep soil moist during active growth while providing free drainage; the [RHS chrysanthemum guide](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/chrysanthemum/growing-guide) advises against letting compost dry out or become waterlogged. ## Maintenance Remove faded flowers to keep the display tidy. Containers are more exposed to cold, so move the pot to a sheltered frost-free place after flowering where winters are severe.
