Newark™ Pink Bicolor Chrysanthemum

Newark™ Pink Bicolor is a Syngenta Flowers selection of *Chrysanthemum indicum* sold as a Pot Mum. Its pink and lavender bicolor blooms are listed for mid-spring flowering, and Syngenta recommends it for small or medium containers. ## Seasonal Display Use Newark as a flowering focal point in a patio pot, entry planter, or seasonal container grouping. The breeder lists full sun exposure and a 9a–11a hardiness zone for this selection; the production zone range is not a guarantee of overwintering performance in every garden. Its labeled flowering window is mid-spring, while actual timing can shift with production and local conditions. ## Growing Notes Choose a container with drainage and enough room for the root ball. Syngenta's Pot Mum Culture Guide describes commercial pot-mum finishing and recommends allowing growing media to dry between irrigations; for a finished container, check moisture regularly and avoid leaving water standing in the saucer. The guide's production instructions for propagation, pinching, and photoperiod are intended for growers, so follow them only when raising the crop from cuttings. ## Maintenance Remove faded flower heads to keep the display tidy. Maintain steady moisture without keeping the pot saturated, and protect this commercial pot-mum selection from temperatures below its listed zone range.
