Pamela™ Yellow Chrysanthemum

Pamela™ Yellow is the yellow-to-gold color variety in Syngenta’s vigorous Pamela™ garden-mum series. Its breeder profile describes large plants with above-average flower size and recommends medium or large pots for natural fall production and other late-season crops. ## Cultivar and color Syngenta identifies Pamela™ Yellow by product code 70111594 and lists its botanical crop as *Chrysanthemum morifolium*. The stated flower color is Yellow / Gold, matching the existing yellow catalog color. The series is described as having good habit and vigor, with larger flowers and better temperature tolerance than the Nikki™ family. ([Syngenta Flowers](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70111594)) ## Placement and season Use the golden blooms to brighten a fall border, group several plants for a strong seasonal mass, or place a medium or large pot near an entrance. The breeder lists part shade, part sun, and full sun, and notes that the series is useful for natural fall production. For general garden-mum placement, North Carolina Extension recommends well-drained soil and notes that heavy shade can cause sprawling growth. ([NC State Extension](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/chrysanthemum-x-morifolium/common-name/mum/)) ## Maintenance Water consistently during active growth and let excess water drain from the root zone. Remove fading flower heads to maintain the display. If grown on as a garden perennial, pinch spring and early summer growth for a fuller shape; stop pinching around mid-August so fall flower buds are not delayed. Syngenta does not publish a cultivar-specific mature height, width, or hardiness zone on this page, so plan spacing using the plant’s actual size and local conditions.
