Zelda™ Yellow Chrysanthemum

Zelda™ Yellow is a compact garden mum in Syngenta’s Zelda™ series, listed as product 70101545. The breeder describes yellow to gold flowers and recommends full sun, including hanging baskets and small to medium pots. Chrysanthemum flower timing and winter performance vary by selection, so use local conditions and the plant label when planning a permanent garden display. ## Planting and placement Set this mum where it receives full sun for most of the day. Use a free-draining potting mix in containers, or fertile, well-drained soil in a bed. The [University of Utah Extension chrysanthemum guide](https://extension.usu.edu/yardandgarden/research/growing-chrysanthemums-in-the-home-garden) recommends full sun and fertile, well-drained soil for garden mums. Its general guidance is useful for siting, while the [Syngenta product page](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70101545) is the source for Zelda’s compact habit and container recommendations. ## Seasonal use Use the compact form to add a bright focal point to a pot or basket. Pair it with foliage plants that will not shade the flowers. Winter hardiness varies among mums and local climates, so check local performance if using it as a perennial. ## Maintenance Water when the growing mix begins to dry and keep the root zone from wilting. Remove spent flowers as needed to keep the container tidy, and follow the seller’s growing instructions for feeding and seasonal care.
