Veronica™ Dark Pink Chrysanthemum

Veronica™ Dark Pink is Syngenta’s Chrysanthemum morifolium Garden Mum selection 70067055, with a purple and dark-pink color group and fall flowering time. Its product page lists full sun, medium-vigorous growth, and hanging baskets or medium and large pots among the recommended containers. [Syngenta Flowers product page](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70067055) ## Placement and season Use this named selection in a sunny fall container display or in a garden bed where the soil drains freely. The color listing supports pairing it with white, bronze, or other fall-toned flowers; allow space for airflow and avoid a low, waterlogged spot. Iowa State Extension recommends spring planting for garden mums in Iowa, where young plants have a longer period to establish before winter, and describes them as early-fall bloomers. Those timing and winter notes are regional guidance rather than a hardiness rating for this selection. [Iowa State growing guidance](https://yardandgarden.extension.iastate.edu/how-to/growing-chrysanthemums-iowa) ## Maintenance Keep soil evenly moist while the plant establishes and water during extended dry weather. In spring and early summer, pinching new growth can encourage branching; Iowa State recommends ending this practice by early July in Iowa because later pinching may delay flowering. Apply this timing with local climate in mind. Remove faded flowers to keep the display neat, and divide an established clump every few years if it becomes congested. Syngenta lists fall as its flowering season and gives no USDA hardiness zone on the product page, so check regional advice before relying on it as a returning perennial.
