Jacqueline™ Pink Chrysanthemum

Jacqueline™ Pink is a fall-flowering garden mum in Syngenta’s Jacqueline series, product 70038575. Its layered blooms combine purple and blue-pink tones, bringing a soft, shifting color accent to autumn containers and borders. ## Flowers and placement The Canadian cultivar record identifies Jacqueline Pink as the trade name for ‘Synjac Pinka’ and describes purple ray florets with blue-pink undertones. Syngenta lists this selection as a potted mum with fall flowering and a mature garden size of about 30–40 cm tall by 30–35 cm wide. Use it near a path, patio, or the front of a sunny border where its flowers can be seen. ## Growing conditions Give garden mums full sun and soil that drains well. Keep container soil from drying completely, and use a pot with drainage holes. Mums can be pinched during spring and early summer to encourage a compact shape; make the final pinch by about mid-August so fall flowers can form. General garden-mum guidance also recommends dividing established plants every few years if clumps become congested.

Remove spent flowers for a tidier display and cut back old stems after flowering or before new spring growth.
