ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant, botanically known as
Dendranthema grandiflora
and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Dark Pink Yoblush.
The new Chrysanthemum was discovered by the Inventor in a controlled environment in Trelleborg, Sweden, as a naturally-occurring mutation of the
Dendranthema grandiflora
‘Pink Blush’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,444. The new Chrysanthemum was observed as a single plant in a group of flowering plants of the parent cultivar. The selection of this plant was based on its different ray floret color. Compared to plants of the parent cultivar, Akron, plants of the new Chrysanthemum have much darker pink ray florets.
Asexual reproduction of the new Chrysanthemum by terminal cuttings harvested in a controlled environment in Alva, Fla., has shown that the unique features of this new Chrysanthemum are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar Dark Pink Yoblush 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 ‘Dark Pink Yoblush’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Dark Pink Yoblush’ as a new and distinct Chrysanthemum:
1. Upright, outwardly spreading and uniformly mounded plant habit.
2. Freely branching habit, full and dense plants.
3. Small, dark green leaves.
4. Uniform flowering.
5. Early flowering, eight-week response time.
6. Can be produced as a disbudded or as a natural-spray type Chrysanthemum.
7. Large daisy-type inflorescenses that are about 11.7 cm in diameter when grown as a disbudded-type.
8. Dark pink-colored ray florets.
9. Large disc with green disc florets that are slow to mature to bright yellow.
10. Excellent postproduction longevity with inflorescences and leaves maintaining good substance and color for about four weeks in an interior environment.
