Hankie™ Yellow Chrysanthemum

Hankie™ Yellow is a large-vigor garden mum with daisy-form yellow-to-gold flowers for fall. Syngenta’s catalog places its northern response in mid fall and its southern response around mid fall. ## Flowers and placement The [Syngenta garden mums catalog](https://www.billmooreco.com/newsattachments/Syngenta%20Mums%202017.pdf) identifies Hankie™ Yellow, code 70018848, as a medium-flowered daisy form with large plant vigor. Its schedule lists northern response in week 39.5 and southern response in week 40, both mid-season. The [RHS chrysanthemum guide](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/chrysanthemum) describes mums and chrysanths as useful for late-summer and autumn color in borders and containers. Use this selection where its larger vigor has room to develop. ## Growing conditions Choose a warm, sunny, sheltered position. Chrysanthemums grow best in fertile soil or compost that stays moist but drains freely. Water plants during dry periods and avoid waterlogged roots. They perform poorly in shade, dry conditions, and poor soil. ## Maintenance Set plants outside after frost danger has passed. Keep the root zone evenly moist during active growth and flowering, and remove faded flowers to tidy the display. Garden mums may be treated as seasonal fall color where local winter conditions are unsuitable for reliable overwintering.
