Patty™ Purple Chrysanthemum

Patty™ Purple is a fall-flowering garden mum with purple and dark pink blooms. Syngenta lists the selection as Chrysanthemum morifolium, recommends full sun and medium or large pots, and rates its vigor medium-vigorous ([Syngenta Flowers](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70049774)). ## Garden use Use Patty™ Purple in a sunny border or a substantial patio pot for seasonal color. Its breeder-listed medium-vigorous growth suits a display with room to fill out, though no mature landscape height or spread is provided for this exact variety. The breeder’s available product page lists hardiness as N/A, so do not treat the fall bloom schedule as an outdoor winter rating. ## Siting and water Choose a sunny position for an outdoor planting. Check the soil regularly during dry weather; container mums need frequent watering, and Illinois Extension recommends watering when the top inch of soil is dry. Shorter days cue chrysanthemums to flower, while nearby outdoor lights at night may interfere with that response ([Illinois Extension](https://extension.illinois.edu/blogs/over-garden-fence/2024-10-17-mums-word)). ## Maintenance Protect potted plants when frost is forecast and let excess water drain. Extension notes that fall is a difficult time to establish mums in the ground; if planting one out, use well-drained soil and a sheltered position. The cultivar listing provides no USDA hardiness zone.
