Ashley™ Red Chrysanthemum

Ashley™ Red is Syngenta Flowers’ garden mum selection 70067019, listed under *Chrysanthemum morifolium*. It has red flowers, medium vigor, full-sun exposure, fall flowering, and small-to-medium pot recommendations. It brings clear red color to sunny seasonal borders or containers; Kew accepts garden mums under *Chrysanthemum × morifolium* in family Asteraceae. ## Garden use and growing conditions Plant Ashley™ Red in sunny seasonal borders or display it in a patio container. Syngenta does not provide mature landscape dimensions or a USDA hardiness zone for the selection. The omission matters: garden mums grown for commercial fall sales are not automatically winter-hardy everywhere, and this profile does not establish perennial performance. For general chrysanthemum culture, choose fertile soil with organic matter and consistent moisture, but make sure water drains freely. Iowa State Extension recommends at least six hours of direct sunlight and explains that mum flowering is triggered by shortening days. Pots may require more frequent watering than in-ground plantings. As bloom timing changes with climate and production, treat “fall” as a season rather than a fixed calendar date.

Before leaving the plant in the ground over winter, verify hardiness with the supplier or choose a cultivar tested for the local climate.
