Flagstaff™ Topaz Chrysanthemum

Flagstaff™ Topaz is a named chrysanthemum sold by Syngenta Flowers as product 70078538. Syngenta identifies this exact Flagstaff color as a medium-vigor pot mum for small or medium pots in full sun, with orange/bronze flowers. The breeder describes a well-branched, full habit and uniform flowering; it flowers faster and forms a shorter, fuller plant than the Pueblo family. ## Cultivar and display Use this named color selection where its orange / bronze flowers can be seen at close range, such as a patio container or seasonal entry display. The breeder classifies this exact product as a pot mum and gives its crop-specific flowering information above; production flowering schedules do not establish outdoor hardiness or a landscape bloom season. No mature landscape dimensions or USDA hardiness zone are provided on the exact product page, so size and winter survival should be treated as unresolved. See the [Syngenta product page](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70078538) for its cultivar identity, color, vigor, and recommended pot size. ## Siting and water The exact product listing recommends full sun. For container display, use a pot with drainage and check moisture often: [Illinois Extension's mum guidance](https://extension.illinois.edu/blogs/flowers-fruits-and-frass/2025-08-25-mums-and-asters-fall-favorites-colorful-landscape) recommends sun or light shade and well-drained soil, while its [container watering guidance](https://extension.illinois.edu/container-gardens/watering) explains that pots dry quickly and should drain after watering. ## Maintenance Check the pot regularly and water when the growing mix begins to dry, then let excess water drain. Remove spent flowers to tidy the display; do not infer perennial hardiness from the breeder's greenhouse product listing, and treat overwintering outdoors as location-dependent.
