Hilo™ Fuchsia Chrysanthemum

Hilo™ Fuchsia is a Syngenta pot mum with purple and dark pink flowers. The breeder lists mid-spring flowering, full sun, medium pots, and hardiness zones 9a–11a; the [exact product page](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70046052) identifies the selection, while the [pot mum catalog](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/sites/g/files/kgtney2381/files/media/document/2025/05/19/sf-16827-potted-plants-catalog-digital-300dpi-2023-06-19.pdf) describes the Hilo family’s flower form and production timing. ## Flowers and display Hilo selections have daisy-form, medium flowers, medium-to-tall vigor, and an 8.5-week production response in the catalog. These production figures help growers schedule pots; garden timing varies with light and temperature. ## Growing conditions Give the container a sunny position and reliable drainage. Kew accepts *Chrysanthemum indicum* and lists it in the family Asteraceae ([POWO](https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:193510-1)). ## Maintenance Inspect the potting mix regularly. [Iowa State Extension](https://yardandgarden.extension.iastate.edu/how-to/care-plants-growing-containers) recommends watering once mix dries 1–2 inches below the surface, allowing excess water to drain. Remove spent flowers as they fade.
