Beatrice™ Orange is a color variety in Syngenta’s Beatrice™ garden-mum series, selection 70111634. It has orange-and-bronze flowers, medium vigor, and full-sun exposure, with the breeder recommending small through large pots. Its warm color suits autumn containers and sunny seasonal borders. [Syngenta Flowers: Beatrice™ Orange](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70111634) ## Garden use and growing conditions Set garden mums in a bright site with at least six hours of direct sun. Use fertile soil enriched with organic matter that stays evenly moist but drains freely. The RHS recommends chrysanthemums for borders and containers, and also describes dedicated cut-flower plantings. Flowering responds to shortening days, though local timing varies with climate and growing conditions.

Check container moisture regularly because pots can dry faster than garden soil. Treat it as a seasonal display unless local experience shows it will return after winter. ## Maintenance Water regularly through dry weather, keeping drainage open. For garden-grown mums, pinch young shoots in spring and early summer to encourage branching, then stop by midsummer so flower buds can develop.
