ABSTRACT:
A new and distinct Chrysanthemum cultivar named `Chafeje` is provided. The new cultivar is a mutation that was created through gamma irradiation of the `Chalecat` cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,463). Attractive very large double incurved blossoms of the pompon type are formed that are red in coloration. The incurving is particularly pronounced at the tips of the ray florets. The blossoms are very long lasting and keep their form for approximately two weeks. The response time of the flowers is approximately ten weeks. Recurrent profuse flower production throughtout the year is made possible. The plant possesses strong stems, forms attractive dark green leaves, and commonly assumes a height of approximately 40 to 45 cm. The blossom coloration contrasts nicely with the dark green foliage. The new cultivar is particularly suited for use in the production of a decorative pot Chrysanthemum that grows well when single stem or disbudded. No growth regulator is necessary to achieve the short to medium plant height.
