Norah™ White Chrysanthemum

Norah™ White is Syngenta’s white-flowered garden mum, selected for early natural flowering and a rounded, even display. The breeder describes its flowers as decorative and rates its vigor medium to vigorous. ## Flowers and habit The [Syngenta product page](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70111545) identifies Norah White as a white garden mum for full sun. It flowers very early in the natural season, alongside Shannon White and Edith White in late August. Syngenta describes its habit as rounder and its flowering as more uniform than Shannon White; its decorative flower form differs from Edith White’s daisy or anemone form. The breeder lists hardiness zone as not available, so no zone range is assigned here. ## Siting Choose a sunny position. [Iowa State Extension](https://yardandgarden.extension.iastate.edu/how-to/growing-chrysanthemums-iowa) recommends at least six hours of direct sun and moist, well-drained soil for garden mums. In Iowa, spring planting gives plants more time to establish before winter. ## Maintenance Keep the soil moist but well drained as plants establish. In Iowa, plant in spring for the best chance of winter survival; performance depends on local climate and planting time.
