Milton™ Pink Bicolor Chrysanthemum

Milton™ Pink Bicolor is a pot chrysanthemum with pink and lavender tones in the Milton family’s daisy form. The breeder lists it for full sun and small or medium pots and notes the family’s use in single-color pots and combinations. ## Flowers and form The [breeder profile](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70065647) identifies Milton™ Pink Bicolor as *Chrysanthemum indicum* product 70065647. It describes the flowers as pink / lavender (bicolor) and places the bicolor within a series promoted for mixed pots, 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.
