Cheryl™ Pink Chrysanthemum

Cheryl™ Pink is Syngenta Flowers’ fall-flowering garden mum, selected for pink and lavender blooms. Its compact-to-medium vigor and choice of pot sizes suit seasonal containers as well as small groups in autumn borders. ## Landscape Use and Seasonal Interest Set Cheryl™ Pink in full sun where the late-season color can be enjoyed from a patio or walkway. Syngenta lists the cultivar for small, medium, and large pots; NC State Extension also describes garden mums for containers, borders, and mass plantings. The breeder does not assign this selection a hardiness zone, so outdoor winter survival depends on local conditions. ## Siting and Soil Plant in moist, well-drained soil. Garden mums flower in fall and grow best in full sun; in warmer locations, protection from intense afternoon sun can help. The [Syngenta cultivar record](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70092432) identifies the pink / lavender color and compact-to-medium vigor, while [NC State Extension](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/chrysanthemum-x-morifolium/common-name/mum/) provides general garden-mum siting guidance. ## Maintenance Keep the soil evenly moist while the plant is growing, with enough drainage to prevent waterlogging. For a fuller garden-grown plant, NC State recommends cutting mums back three times during spring and summer, with the last cut around mid-August; adjust timing to the local flowering schedule so developing buds are not removed.
