ABSTRACT:
LATIN NAME
Dendranthema morifolium
VARIETY
‘Gedi One Sav’
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant, botanically known as
Dendranthema morifolium
and herein after referred to by the cultivar name ‘Gedi One Sav.’
This new cultivar originated from hybridization of a female plant, cultivar ‘Pinos’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,208), and a male parent, cultivar ‘Maribelle’ (unpatented in the United States). The new cultivar was discovered by the inventor in October 1996.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by apical tip cutting and meristem tissue culture was performed in Oxnard, Calif. and has shown that the unique features of this new cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type on successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar ‘Gedi One Sav’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, daylength, and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Gedi One Sav.’ These observations were made on plants approximately 130 days old from rooted cuttings. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Gedi One Sav’ as a new and distinct Chrysanthemum:
1. Large, decorative type inflorescence;
2. Consistent flowering response to short days, blooming consistently after 49 days of short day length;
3. Free branching habit; and
4. Highly floriferous plants.
Plants of the variety ‘Pinos’ were grown next to the new cultivar ‘Gedi One Sav’ for this description. Differences from the patent description information given for ‘Pinos’ are due to different growing conditions. The ‘Pinos’ plant used for the patent description was grown in a greenhouse, with 5 cuttings in a pot, ‘Gedi One Sav’ and ‘Pinos’ used for this description were grown outdoors, with 1 cutting in a pot. Plants of the new cultivar are similar to plants of the parent cultivar, ‘Pinos,’ in most horticultural characteristics, however plants of the new cultivar differed from plants of the cultivar ‘Pinos’ in the following characteristics:
1. The new cultivar is taller and wider;
2. The new cultivar has larger diameter blooms; and
3. The new cultivar has different color ray florets.
Plants of the new cultivar are also similar to plants of the parent cultivar, ‘Maribelle,’ in most horticultural characteristics, however plants of the new cultivar differed from plants of the cultivar ‘Maribelle’ in the following characteristics:
1. The new cultivar has more ray florets;
2. The new cultivar has a more round, uniform plant shape; and
3. The new cultivar naturally blooms 2 week earlier.
Plants of the variety ‘Jenny Wren’ were grown next to the new cultivar ‘Gedi One Sav’ for this description. Differences from the patent description information given for Pinos are due to different growing conditions. The ‘Jenny Wren’ plant used for the patent description was grown in a greenhouse, with 5 cuttings in a pot, ‘Gedi One Sav’ and ‘Jenny Wren’ used for this description were grown outdoors, with 1 cutting in a pot. Plants grown outdoors over the course of the summer consistently develop more ray florets than those grown in a greenhouse over a shorter growing period.
The new cutivar can be compared to the Chrysanthemum cultivar ‘Jenny Wren’ (disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,213). However, plants of the new Chrysanthemum differed from the plants of the cultivar ‘Jenny Wren’ in the following characteristics:
1. The new cultivar has more ray florets;
2. The new cultivar has a more round plant shape and greater branching;
3. The new cultivar has a shorter internode length;
4. The new cultivar has a more flexible plant form; and
5. The new cultivar has more blooms per flowering branch.
