The Cheryl™ Golden Mum (Chrysanthemum x morifolium 'Golden Cheryl') is a highly popular, fast-growing garden chrysanthemum bred by Syngenta Flowers. Known for its exceptional low-maintenance nature, it features abundant, two-tone golden-yellow cushion flowers that bloom heavily from September through October.
Key Plant Characteristics
- Appearance: Brilliant golden-yellow flowers set against contrasting dark green foliage.
- Growth Habit: Naturally forms a tight, neat mounding shape that rarely needs staking.
- Size: Reaches a mature height and spread of 18 to 24 inches.
- Hardiness: Rated for USDA Zones 4b to 9, making it an incredibly resilient perennial choice for northern and southern climates alike.
Essential Care & Growing Tips
- Sunlight: Requires full sun to partial sun (at least 4 to 6 hours of direct daily sunlight) to maximize bloom production.
- Soil & Water: Thrives in rich, well-draining soil with consistent moisture. It is highly drought-tolerant once established but sensitive to soggy soil, which can cause root rot. Always water at the base of the plant to protect the dense foliage from mildew.
- Landscape Uses: Excellent for instant autumn curb appeal in front entryway planters, mixed container displays, or planted directly in sunny garden borders
