Abstract
A distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant named ‘Zesty Yojean’, characterized by its uniformly mounded plant habit; freely branching growth habit; uniform and early flowering; decorative-type inflorescences that are about 4.5 cm in diameter; attractive coral peach ray florets; numerous inflorescences per plant; and excellent garden performance.
Description
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 Zesty Yojean.
The new Chrysanthemum is a product of a mutation induction breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Fort Myers, Fla., and Salinas, Calif. The objective of the program is to create new Chrysanthemum cultivars with inflorescences with desirable inflorescence forms, attractive floret colors and good garden performance.
The new Chrysanthemum originated by exposing unrooted cuttings of the Chrysanthemum cultivar Jean, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,901, to gamma-ray radiation in Feb., 1996, in Fort Myers, Fla. Following the radiation treatment, the cuttings were rooted and terminal apices were removed (pinched) three times to promote lateral branch development. After lateral branches from the third pinch reached sufficient size, terminal cuttings were harvested, planted and flowered in a controlled environment in Salinas, Calif. The new Chrysanthemum was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant within this population in July, 1996. The selection of this plant was based on its desirable inflorescence form, attractive ray floret color and excellent garden performance.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken in a controlled environment in Salinas, Calif. has shown that the unique features of this new Chrysanthemum are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The cutlivar Zesty Yojean 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 ‘Zesty Yojean’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Zesty Yojean’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Uniformly mounded plant habit.
2. Freely branching, dense, full plants.
3. Uniform and early flowering.
4. Decorative-type inflorescences that are about 4.5 cm in diameter.
5. Attractive coral peach-colored ray florets.
6. Numerous inflorescences per plant.
7. Excellent garden performance.
Compared to plants of the parent cultivar, Jean, plants of the new Chrysanthemum flower a few days later under artificially-manipulated photoperiodic conditions and differ in ray floret color as plants of ‘Jean’ have light pink-colored ray florets.
The ccompanying photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Chrysanthemum. These photographs show the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which more accurately describe the actual colors of the new Chrysanthemum.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a top perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Zesty Yojean’.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a close-up view of typical inflorescences of the cultivar ‘Zesty Yojean’.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Pendleton, S.C., under conditions which approximate those generally used in commercial garden Chrysanthemum production. One rooted cutting was planted in a 15-cm container on Jul. 26, 1999 and plants were grown under natural season conditions. Plants were not pinched, that is, the terminal apex was not removed to enhance branching. Measurements and numerical values represent averages for typical flowering plants.
