Rockport™ Purple Chrysanthemum

Rockport™ Purple Chrysanthemum is a Syngenta pot mum sold as Chrysanthemum indicum, product 70018714. Syngenta identifies Rockport Purple 70018714 as a purple/dark-pink Chrysanthemum indicum pot mum for full sun and small or medium containers; its catalog lists daisy flowers, medium size, medium vigor and an eight-week response. The catalog response week is production timing for growers, not a fixed outdoor flowering date. ## Color and use The purple flowers bring a defined seasonal accent to a porch, patio or container arrangement. Syngenta lists this selection as a pot mum and recommends small or medium containers where stated; provide a container with drainage. Pot-mum marketing does not establish that a finished retail plant will survive winter outdoors. ## Siting Choose a bright site; the exact product source lists full sun for this selection where exposure is specified. Illinois Extension recommends sun and well-drained soil for mums and notes that container plants need attention during hot, dry weather. Check the potting mix regularly and water thoroughly when it begins to dry; allow excess water to drain. [Illinois Extension’s mum-care guide](https://extension.illinois.edu/blogs/flowers-fruits-and-frass/2025-08-25-mums-and-asters-fall-favorites-colorful-landscape) explains these general cultural needs. ## Maintenance Remove faded flowers to keep the display tidy, and protect the pot from frost if extending the seasonal display. Do not infer this selection’s outdoor hardiness from general garden-mum care.
