Wanda™ Bronze Chrysanthemum

Wanda™ Bronze is Syngenta’s Chrysanthemum morifolium Garden Mum selection 70084429, listed in the orange-bronze color group for fall flowering. The product page recommends full sun and containers from small pots through hanging baskets and large pots, while the breeder’s garden-mum brochure places it in natural-season and blackcloth programs.

The orange-bronze flowers can add a warm color note; the breeder describes the Wanda group as suitable for natural and controlled production schedules, so those production response details should not be read as a guaranteed outdoor bloom date for every location. Iowa State Extension recommends spring planting for garden mums in Iowa and steady moisture in well-drained soil. Its calendar is specific to Iowa, and winter performance varies with local climate and siting.

Pinch young plants in spring and early summer if a fuller shape is desired; Iowa State advises stopping by early July in Iowa to avoid delaying flowers. Remove faded flower heads to keep containers and beds presentable, and divide established clumps every few years if they become crowded.
