Elliot Chrysanthemum

Elliot is a red, daisy-form pot mum in Syngenta’s potted chrysanthemum assortment. The company’s [Pot Mums & Fleurettes catalog](https://online.flippingbook.com/view/906530840/36-37/) lists Elliot as a medium-flowered daisy type with medium vigor, a 7.5-week response, and code 70089419. ## Flowers and display The daisy-style flowers provide a familiar, open bloom form for a seasonal pot or patio arrangement. Syngenta lists Elliot with its red pot mums and recommends both 4- and 6-inch production containers in the catalog. These are commercial growing details, so the size and schedule of a finished plant depend on the crop and conditions. ## Growing conditions Chrysanthemums generally do best in sun and well-drained growing medium. The [RHS chrysanthemum guide](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/chrysanthemum/growing-guide) recommends a warm, sheltered position, regular watering through active growth, and avoiding waterlogging. Syngenta’s pot-mum catalog gives no cultivar-specific outdoor hardiness; protect Elliot from frost and use it as seasonal container color unless local guidance establishes otherwise. ## Maintenance Keep the potting mix from drying completely while the plant is in flower, and let excess water drain. Remove spent flowers to maintain the display. Move the plant to a protected place if frost threatens, and follow the supplier’s directions if saving the plant for another season.
