Moab™ Red Chrysanthemum

Moab™ Red is a red-flowered, decorative pot chrysanthemum with medium vigor. Syngenta lists it for small or medium pots and a broad range of light, from shade to full sun. ## Flowers and form The [breeder profile](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70100713) identifies Moab™ Red as *Chrysanthemum indicum* product 70100713. It describes the flowers as red, with a decorative 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 lists exposure from full shade to 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.
