Outrageous™ Red Chrysanthemum

Outrageous™ Red is a red-flowered pot mum in Syngenta’s Outrageous™ series. The breeder lists this exact selection for full sun, medium or small pots, and a mid-spring flowering window. ## Flowers and placement Syngenta identifies the selection as Chrysanthemum indicum, product 70046043, with red flowers. Use its strong color in a sunny seasonal container. The product page does not state mature height or spread, so those dimensions are left unspecified rather than inferred from its recommended pot sizes. ## Siting Choose full sun and a potting 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 when the growing mix needs it, keep the root ball from wilting, and allow excess water to drain from the container. ## Maintenance The breeder’s mid-spring flowering time is a product schedule, not a guarantee of outdoor bloom in every climate. Utah State University Extension notes that many potted chrysanthemums sold by florists do not survive their first winter outdoors. Treat Outrageous™ Red as seasonal pot color unless local experience confirms winter survival; remove faded flower heads and stems as the display declines.
