Abstract

A new plant variety of chrysanthemum producing pink daisy-type flowers with pink ray florets and yellow disc florets.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is directed to a new and distinct variety of Chrysanthemum morifolium. The varietal denomination of the new chrysanthemum is ‘Italia’.
The new variety is a cross of two undistributed, unnamed, unpatented seedlings. The new variety has been asexually reproduced by vegetative cuttings in Ventura County, Calif. and the distinguishing characteristics are retained through successive generations of a sexual reproduction.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
‘Italia’ is a chrysanthemum plant variety with daisy-type flowers having pink ray florets and yellow disc florets.
COMPARISON WITH OTHER VARIETY
The new variety has been shown to recover completely from a fully wilted condition without damage much better than a similar cultivar ‘Empire Sweet Dreams’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,908):
‘Empire Sweet
Dreams’ ‘ITALIA’
Inflorescence Diameter About 7 cm About 4 cm
Ray Floret coloration when mature Near 48C Near 42B
Plant height About 28 cm About 23 cm
Approximate quantity of About 9 About 15
inflorescence per stem
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATIONS
The accompanying photograph shows a typical specimens of the plant and flowers of the new variety with colors being as nearly true as possible with illustrations of this type.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PLANT
The following description of the new variety is of specimens grown in a greenhouse in Ventura County, Calif. The plants described are approximately 65 days old from a rooted cutting. ‘Italia’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary with variations in the environment such as temperature, light intensity, day length and cultural conditions. The color designations herein are from The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general terms are used.
To produce a commercial product the plants may be pinched once about 10 days after planting. No treatment with growth retardant was used with plants described. Useful growing conditions include average night temperatures of about 70° to 20° C., day temperatures of about 20° to 30° C. No susceptibility or resistance to disease has been observed. Resistance or susceptibility concerning insects has not been observed. Cold tolerance has not been observed.
