Chowchilla™ Yellow Chrysanthemum

Chowchilla™ Yellow is a compact, yellow-flowered pot mum for containers and seasonal displays. Syngenta identifies it as Chrysanthemum indicum, recommends full sun and small or medium pots, and lists flowering from spring through winter; the product profile describes its vigor as compact ([Syngenta Flowers](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70065613)). ## Garden use Place this variety in a patio pot, entry planter, or grouped fall display where its yellow-gold flowers can brighten a small space. Its compact vigor suits containers, while the breeder’s suggested pot sizes provide a practical guide for display scale. The product profile lists hardiness as N/A, so its winter flowering schedule should not be interpreted as an outdoor survival rating. ## Siting and water Give outdoor containers a sunny position. Potted mums use water readily; check the top inch of mix and water when dry, allowing excess water to drain ([Illinois Extension](https://extension.illinois.edu/blogs/over-garden-fence/2024-10-17-mums-word)). Shorter days cue chrysanthemum flowering. If bringing a flowering pot indoors temporarily, place it in bright indirect light and keep it away from strong night lighting. ## Maintenance Keep the mix evenly moist while the plant is in bloom and protect the container when frost is forecast. Because Syngenta does not assign a hardiness zone to this product, use it as a seasonal flowering pot rather than assuming it will overwinter outdoors.
