Hilo™ Mango is a Syngenta pot mum with pink and lavender flowers. The breeder specifies full sun, medium pots, mid-spring flowering, and hardiness zones 9a–11a in the [exact product record](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70018947). Syngenta’s [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) identifies the Hilo family’s daisy form and production response. ## Flowers and display The Hilo family has medium daisy flowers, medium-to-tall vigor, and an 8.5-week production response. These are commercial crop-planning details; home flowering depends on growing conditions. ## Growing conditions Place the pot in full sun and use a container with drainage. Kew recognizes *Chrysanthemum indicum* as an accepted species in Asteraceae ([POWO taxonomy](https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:193510-1)). ## Maintenance Check the potting mix often, especially in warm weather. [Iowa State Extension](https://yardandgarden.extension.iastate.edu/how-to/care-plants-growing-containers) recommends watering once the mix is dry 1–2 inches below the surface and continuing until water drains. Remove spent blooms as they fade.
