Pelee™ Island Chrysanthemum

Pelee™ Island is a Syngenta pot mum selected for red, bicolor daisy flowers. The [product record](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70100690) identifies the cultivar as Chrysanthemum indicum, item 70100690, and describes it as a lower-vigor, heat-tolerant update to classic fall bicolor mums. ## Flower and placement Syngenta’s 2026 catalog lists medium flowers, medium vigor, and a 7.5-week production response for Pelee Island. The response value is a grower schedule, not a guarantee of garden bloom timing. The contrasting red petals suit containers, entry displays, and mixed seasonal plantings. ## Growing in containers The breeder lists full sun and small to medium pots. Use a well-drained potting mix and water as needed to keep the mix from drying out completely. General chrysanthemum guidance from [UF/IFAS Gardening Solutions](https://gardeningsolutions.ifas.ufl.edu/plants/ornamentals/chrysanthemums/) also recommends good drainage and watering as needed. ## Maintenance Remove faded flowers for a neat display.
