ABSTRACT:

Botanical classification/cultivar designation:
Chrysanthemum×morifolium
cultivar Foxy Yonatasha.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of
Chrysanthemum
plant, botanically known as
Chrysanthemum×morifolium
, commercially known as a garden-type
Chrysanthemum
and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Foxy Yonatasha’.
The new
Chrysanthemum
is a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of the
Chrysanthemum×morifolium
cultivar Yonatasha, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,907. The new
Chrysanthemum
was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within a population of plants of the cultivar Yonatasha in a controlled environment in Alva, Fla. in April, 2002. The selection of this plant was based on its desirable inflorescence form, attractive ray floret color and good garden performance.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal vegetative cuttings in a controlled environment in Alva, Fla. since June, 2002, 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 Foxy Yonatasha 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 ‘Foxy Yonatasha’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Foxy Yonatasha’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Upright and outwardly spreading plant habit.
2. Freely branching habit; dense and full plants.
3. Uniform and very freely flowering habit.
4. Large daisy-type inflorescences with elongated oblong-shaped ray florets.
5. Red-colored ray florets and bright yellow-colored disc florets.
6. Natural season flowering in mid September in the Northern Hemisphere.
In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Alva, Fla., plants of the new
Chrysanthemum
differed from plants of the parent, the cultivar Yonatasha in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new
Chrysanthemum
flowered several days later than plants of the cultivar Yonatasha when grown under natural season conditions.
2. Plants of the new
Chrysanthemum
and the cultivar Yonatasha differed in ray floret coloration as plants of the cultivar Yonatasha had coral pink-colored ray florets.
Plants of the new
Chrysanthemum
can be compared to plants of the
Chrysanthemum
cultivar Hot Salsa, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,918. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Alva, Fla., plants of the new
Chrysanthemum
differed from plants of the cultivar Hot Salsa in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new
Chrysanthemum
were larger and more rounded than plants of the cultivar Hot Salsa.
2. Plants of the new
Chrysanthemum
flowered about three weeks earlier than plants of the cultivar Hot Salsa when grown in southern climates.
3. Ray florets of plants of the new
Chrysanthemum
were darker red in color than ray florets of plants of the cultivar Hot Salsa.
Plants of the new
Chrysanthemum
can also be compared to plants of the
Chrysanthemum
cultivar Red Temptress, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Alva, Fla., plants of the new
Chrysanthemum
differed from plants of the cultivar Red Temptress in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new
Chrysanthemum
were smaller and more rounded than plants of the cultivar Red Temptress.
2. Plants of the new
Chrysanthemum
had larger inflorescences than plants of the cultivar Red Temptress.
3. Plants of the new
Chrysanthemum
flowered about four weeks earlier than plants of the cultivar Red Temptress when grown in southern climates.
