Oxnard™ Orange Chrysanthemum

Oxnard™ Orange is an orange-flowered pot mum in Syngenta’s Oxnard™ series. The breeder describes its flowers as large and smoothly orange, recommends small or medium pots, and lists flowering times in early, mid, and late spring, summer, fall, and winter. ## Flowers and placement The exact product page identifies Chrysanthemum indicum selection 70078539 and notes that Oxnard™ Orange is more compact, with larger flowers, than Auburn™ Orange and Blush™ Orange. Its varied production windows help with planning a container display, but do not promise continuous outdoor flowering in every climate. ## Siting Grow it in full sun in a free-draining container mix. [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, keep the root ball from wilting, and let extra water drain away. ## Maintenance Syngenta classifies this selection as a pot mum and gives no mature garden dimensions. Utah State University Extension notes that many potted chrysanthemums sold by florists do not survive their first winter outdoors. Use Oxnard™ Orange as seasonal container color unless local experience confirms it overwinters reliably; remove faded flowers and spent stems as the display finishes.
