Milton™ Dark Pink Chrysanthemum

Milton™ Dark Pink is a pink-flowering Chrysanthemum indicum in Syngenta’s Milton pot-mum family. The breeder lists full sun, mid-spring flowering, and small to medium pot sizes for this selection. ## Color and use Flowers are pink to lavender. Grow this cultivar in a sunny container or seasonal display, where the deep pink color can stand out among lighter flowers and foliage. ## Growing conditions Use a container with drainage and a free-draining potting mix. Place it in full sun, water the root zone thoroughly, and check moisture often after potting and during warm weather. General mum-care guidance calls for frequent watering when newly potted, then roughly an inch per week once established, with adjustments for weather and pot size. Syngenta lists hardiness zones 9a–11a. ## Maintenance Remove faded flower heads to keep the display neat, and do not allow the container to sit in standing water. In climates colder than the listed range, grow Milton Dark Pink as a seasonal potted plant. [Syngenta Flowers product profile](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70065639); [N.C.
