Pittsburgh™ Purple Chrysanthemum

Pittsburgh™ Purple is Syngenta’s pot mum with purple to dark-pink spider flowers. The breeder identifies it as Chrysanthemum indicum, item 70024131, and lists a medium pot size and full-sun exposure ([Syngenta product record](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70024131)). ## Flower and placement The 2026 Syngenta catalog classifies Pittsburgh Purple as a large-flowered spider mum with medium vigor and an 8-week production response. The response is a greenhouse scheduling measure rather than a promise of outdoor bloom timing. The unusual narrow-petaled form creates a textural focal point in a pot or seasonal display. ## Growing in containers Provide a bright position and a freely draining container mix. Keep the root zone evenly moist, with watering adjusted for heat and pot size. [UF/IFAS Gardening Solutions](https://gardeningsolutions.ifas.ufl.edu/plants/ornamentals/chrysanthemums/) recommends well-drained soil and watering as needed for chrysanthemums. ## Maintenance Remove faded flowers to keep the display tidy.
