Sport™ J1549 Yellow is the supplied trade name for this Chrysanthemum morifolium selection, identified by product code 70077110. Chrysanthemum cultivars differ in flowering habit and winter survival, so use general garden-mum guidance with the production type and local climate in mind. ## Garden use and flowering The yellow flowers add late-season color in a sunny bed or container.

NC State Extension describes chrysanthemums as both annual and perennial in cultivation, with garden and florist types that do not behave alike outdoors. ## Growing conditions Where grown as a garden mum, choose a site with at least six hours of direct sun and moist, well-drained soil. Water during prolonged dry periods, but avoid waterlogged ground. For dependable fall display, keep the planting away from strong outdoor lighting at night, which can delay flowering in many garden mums. ## Maintenance Pinch young garden-mum shoots in spring or early summer to encourage branching, stopping before flower buds form. Overwintering varies among cultivars and regions; florist-type mums may be treated as seasonal containers, while garden types are more suitable for perennial beds.
