Chelsey™ Coral Chrysanthemum

Chelsey™ Coral is Syngenta Flowers’ Chrysanthemum morifolium garden-mum selection 70038563. The breeder classifies its flowers as pink/lavender, lists medium-vigorous growth and full sun, and notes that its slower flowering response makes it unsuitable for mixed combos. Hardiness and mature landscape dimensions are not specified. ## Garden use and growing conditions Plant it as a stand-alone accent in a sunny autumn container or seasonal border, where its pink-lavender flowers can be enjoyed without relying on a mixed planting to flower uniformly. The breeder lists several container sizes but gives no numeric mature dimensions or hardiness zone. Do not assume it will overwinter outside a locally proven climate. Garden mums prefer fertile, organic-rich soil that remains evenly moist but drains freely. Iowa State Extension recommends at least six hours of direct sun and explains that short days induce flowering. In pots, monitor moisture closely because the root ball can dry quickly.

Avoid waterlogged soil. Plan this slower-response cultivar as a stand-alone selection rather than expecting it to synchronize with unrelated plants in a combo.
