Adriana™ Purple Chrysanthemum

Adriana™ Purple is a named garden mum in Syngenta Flowers’ Chrysanthemum morifolium range (catalog number 70084353). The breeder lists purple and dark-pink flowers, compact vigor, full-sun exposure, and a fall flowering response. ## Garden use and growing conditions The compact habit and fall flowers suit seasonal borders, patio containers, and mixed displays where a concentrated late-season color note is useful. Syngenta lists hanging baskets and small-to-medium pots among suitable container sizes. Its cultivar profile does not report an outdoor hardiness zone or mature landscape dimensions, so check local winter performance and spacing with a supplier. As with garden mums generally, give plants a bright site with around six or more hours of sun and fertile, organic-rich soil that remains evenly moist while draining freely. In hot regions, some afternoon protection can help. Chrysanthemums form flower buds as nights lengthen; local timing varies with cultivar and climate. Iowa State Extension recommends full sun and moist, well-drained soil and explains the role of night length in flowering.

For garden-grown mums, Iowa State recommends pinching in spring and early summer, stopping by early July to avoid delaying flowers. Treat outdoor winter survival as climate-dependent; Syngenta lists this selection as a potted garden mum and gives no hardiness zone.
