Fairbanks™ Purple Spoon Chrysanthemum

Fairbanks™ Purple Spoon is a compact-to-medium-vigor pot mum with purple/dark-pink spoon-style flowers whose contrasting petal tips and centers make a vivid container accent. Syngenta lists full sun, small or medium pots, and production windows throughout the year, without assigning a hardiness zone. ## Flowers and use The breeder describes a sharp contrast between petal tips and centers and lists the flower color as purple/dark pink. The full-year listing refers to production windows for a pot mum, not guaranteed garden bloom in every climate. See the [Syngenta cultivar profile](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70059977) for current product details. The [RHS chrysanthemum guide](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/chrysanthemum/growing-guide) covers garden planting and care for chrysanthemums generally. ## Growing conditions Provide full sun. The RHS recommends a sunny, sheltered position and fertile, well-drained soil. Water newly planted chrysanthemums regularly through active growth, keeping compost from drying completely while avoiding waterlogged conditions. Syngenta lists these products for pot culture; it does not publish an outdoor hardiness zone. ## Maintenance Remove faded flowers to keep container displays tidy. Check pots regularly in warm weather because container compost dries faster than garden soil. Protect plants from frost where needed; cultivar-specific overwintering limits are not supplied by the breeder.
