Ottawa™ White Chrysanthemum

Ottawa™ White is a white-flowered pot mum from Syngenta’s Ottawa™ series. Its exact product page lists full sun, medium or small container sizes, and a mid-spring flowering time. ## Flowers and placement This is the breeder’s Chrysanthemum indicum selection 70018651. The white color makes it an easy fit for a single-color container or a mixed seasonal pot. Syngenta does not give mature garden dimensions for this selection, so its height and spread should remain unspecified. ## Siting Place the pot in a sunny spot and use a mix that drains freely. [Utah State University Extension](https://extension.usu.edu/yardandgarden/research/growing-chrysanthemums-in-the-home-garden) recommends full sunshine and fertile, well-drained soil for chrysanthemums. Water thoroughly when needed and do not let the plant wilt; let excess water escape from the pot rather than leaving the root zone saturated. ## Maintenance Treat the listed mid-spring flowering time as product timing for this pot mum. Utah State University Extension cautions that many potted chrysanthemums sold by florists do not survive their first winter outdoors. Keep Ottawa™ White as seasonal container color unless local experience shows that this selection overwinters reliably, and remove faded blooms and stems to keep the display neat.
