Milton™ Pink Chrysanthemum

Milton™ Pink is a pot chrysanthemum selected for pink-to-lavender daisy flowers. Syngenta lists the variety for full sun and small or medium pots, making it suitable for a bright patio or entry display. ## Flowers and form The [breeder profile](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70065640) identifies Milton™ Pink as *Chrysanthemum indicum* product 70065640. It describes the flowers as pink / lavender, in the Milton family's daisy flower form. These are potted florist-crop selections; growers schedule production so finished plants can be offered in more than one season. ## Container placement Use a pot with open drainage and place the plant where its light needs are met; Syngenta specifies full sun for this selection. The [University of Florida IFAS guide](https://gardeningsolutions.ifas.ufl.edu/plants/ornamentals/chrysanthemums/) describes chrysanthemums as useful in containers and advises well-drained soil. The [Iowa State Extension guide](https://yardandgarden.extension.iastate.edu/how-to/growing-chrysanthemums-iowa) distinguishes potted florist mums from hardier garden mums and treats florist types as seasonal outdoor containers in cold-winter climates. ## Maintenance Check the potting mix regularly, since container plants can dry quickly. Iowa State Extension recommends watering a potted mum when the surface becomes dry and letting excess water drain from the pot. Remove faded flowers to keep the display tidy. In cold-winter regions, enjoy this pot mum as a seasonal display unless local growing conditions and cultivar guidance support overwintering.
