Mount® Carmel Chrysanthemum

Mount® Carmel is a yellow-flowered decorative pot chrysanthemum from the Mount® collection. [Syngenta identifies the exact product as Chrysanthemum indicum and a pot mum](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70089428), while [Royal Van Zanten lists its yellow color and decorative flower type](https://www.royalvanzanten.com/en/products/potted-plants/pot-chrysant-en/mount-carmel-2/). ## Placement and Use Grow it in a container or planter where the blooms add a bright focal color. Syngenta lists part shade, part sun, and full sun for this product; in a bright outdoor position, check the pot more frequently because exposed containers can dry faster. ## Watering Check the potting mix by touch instead of relying on a fixed schedule. When the top inch feels dry, water enough to moisten the full root ball and let the excess drain freely. Avoid keeping the mix waterlogged. [Illinois Extension’s container watering guide](https://extension.illinois.edu/container-gardens/watering) describes these moisture and drainage checks. ## Maintenance Monitor the mix during flowering and remove faded blooms for a neat display. Keep drainage openings clear and adjust watering as temperatures, sunlight, and container location change.
