Chrysanthemum morifolium.
Variety denomination: The new Chrysanthemum variety denomination is ‘Hi Time.’
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum botanically known as
Chrysanthemum morifolium,
and referred to by the cultivar name ‘Hi Time.’
‘Hi Time,’ identified as 22114-0, originated from a cross made by Ruth Redman in a controlled breeding program in Vinnetrow Road, Chicester, West Sussex, United Kingdom. The female parent of the new variety is cultivar Stereophonics (U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 10/622,758). The male parent of the new variety is an undistributed, unpatented seedling identified as 21012-0. The new variety ‘Hi Time’ has been asexually reproduced by vegetative cuttings in Chichester, West Sussex, United Kingdom and the distinguishing characteristics are retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
‘Hi Time’ is a pot type of Chrysanthemum plant variety having deep pink single flowers.
Comparison with Female Parent
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Hi Time’ are dissimilar to the parent cultivar Stereophonics in plant habitat and growth rate. In side-by-side comparisons in Chichester, West Sussex, United Kingdom, under commercial practice, plants of the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Hi Time’ differed from plants of the parent cultivar Stereophonics in the following characteristics.
1. The new variety ‘Hi Time’ produces dark pink flowers whereas the parent cultivar Stereophonics produces white flowers.
2. Plants of the new variety ‘Hi Time’ have smaller and shorter inflorescence than plants of the parent cultivar Stereophonics.

1. The new variety ‘Hi Time’ produces dark pink flowers whereas the parent cultivar 21012-0 produces light pink flowers.
2. Plants of the new variety ‘Hi Time’ have larger and taller inflorescence than plants of the parent cultivar 21012-0.
Comparison with Other Varieties
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Hi Time’ are dissimilar to the cultivar Mega Time Rose (U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 10/364,268) in plant habitat and growth rate. However, in side-by-side comparisons in Chichester, West Sussex, United Kingdom, under commercial practice, plants of the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Hi Time’ differed from plants of the cultivar ‘Mega Time Rose’ in the following characteristics.
1. The new variety ‘Hi Time’ produces dark pink single flowers whereas the cultivar ‘Mega Time Rose’ produces pink single flowers.
2. Plants of the new variety ‘Hi Time’ have smaller and shorter inflorescence than plants of the cultivar Mega Time Rose.
