Newport™ Bronze Bicolor Chrysanthemum

Newport™ Bronze Bicolor is a Syngenta Flowers selection of *Chrysanthemum indicum* grown and sold as a Pot Mum. Its breeder-listed flower color is orange and bronze, with flowering scheduled for mid-spring and recommended use in small or medium pots. ## Seasonal Display The bronze-and-orange bicolor flowers bring warm color to a patio container, entry planter, or seasonal display. Syngenta lists full sun exposure and a 9a–11a hardiness zone for the selection. The mid-spring flowering label describes the breeder's crop timing; local bloom timing depends on production and growing conditions. ## Growing Notes Use a pot with drainage and keep the root zone from sitting in standing water. Syngenta's Pot Mum Culture Guide is written for commercial production; it recommends drying the media between irrigations and explains that pinching and day-length control are production techniques used to time and finish pot mums. Those crop instructions are useful for growers raising cuttings, rather than a routine requirement for a retail-finished flowering pot. ## Maintenance Remove spent flower heads as needed to keep the display neat. Check container moisture often, especially in warm or exposed locations, and water thoroughly when the growing mix begins to dry.
