Chatham™ Orange Chrysanthemum

Chatham™ Orange is an orange-bronze pot mum with decorative flowers. Syngenta Flowers’ 2023 Pot Mums & Fleurettes catalog lists product 70018702 in its Orange-Bronze assortment and describes a medium-small decorative flower, short plant vigor, and an eight-week response time ([Syngenta Flowers, 2023 catalog](https://online.flippingbook.com/view/906530840)). ## Garden use Use Chatham™ Orange in a seasonal container or grouped display where its warm flower color can complement bronze, gold, or red plants. The catalog presents it as a potted mum; choose a container with drainage and leave room to inspect the soil and water as needed. No mature landscape dimensions or outdoor hardiness value is provided by the cultivar source. ## Siting and water Potted chrysanthemums use water readily. Check the top inch of potting mix and water when it is dry, letting excess water drain away; Illinois Extension gives this as a practical guide for container mums ([Illinois Extension](https://extension.illinois.edu/blogs/over-garden-fence/2024-10-17-mums-word)). Shorter days cue chrysanthemums to flower, so nearby night lighting can affect flowering. For an outdoor seasonal display, monitor the forecast and protect the pot if frost is expected. ## Maintenance Keep the mix evenly moist during bloom without leaving the pot standing in water. Treat Chatham™ Orange as a seasonal container selection because the consulted product catalog does not provide a hardiness rating.
