It recommends small, medium, and large pots. The page supplies no cultivar-specific garden dimensions and lists hardiness as N/A. ## Size and growing conditions [NC State Extension](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/chrysanthemum-x-morifolium/common-name/mum/) gives general garden-mum dimensions of 1–3 ft high and 1–2 ft wide; these broad species-level figures are not a measurement for Cheryl Golden. NC State recommends full sun and well-drained soil, with afternoon protection in warmer locations. Too much shade can lead to sprawling growth. ## Maintenance Give the plant a sunny, well-drained site and leave room for a rounded mound. NC State recommends cutting garden mums back during spring and summer, with the last cut around mid-August, to encourage compact growth and prevent spring flowering. The breeder does not report a USDA zone for this selection; use local guidance to determine whether it will overwinter outdoors.
