Abstract

A new and distinct Chrysanthemum plant cultivar is disclosed, characterized by a decorative-type inflorescence, consistent flowering response to short days, blooming consistently after 49 days of short day length, free branching habit, yellow ray florets, a very uniform round growth habit, and a large quantity of blooms per flowering branch.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species: The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant, botanically known as Chrysanthemum morifolium.
Variety denomination: The new and distinct Chrysanthemum plant is hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Gedi Two Fio.’
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The new cultivar is a product of hybridization of a female parent Chrysanthemum plant variety ‘Gedi VL8’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,344) and a male parent Chrysanthemum plant variety ‘Gedi One Sor’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,901). The new cultivar was discovered and selected by the inventor in September 1996.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by apical tip cutting and meristem tissue culture was performed in Oxnard, Calif. and has shown that the unique features of this cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type on successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar ‘Gedi Two Fio’ 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 ‘Gedi Two Fio’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Gedi Two Fio’ as a new and distinct Chrysanthemum cultivar:
1. Decorative-type inflorescence,
2. Consistent flowering response to short days, blooming consistently after 49 days of short day length,
3. Free branching habit,
4. Yellow ray florets,
5. Very uniform round growth habit, and
6. Large quantity of blooms per flowering branch.
Plants of the new cultivar are similar to plants of the female parent variety, ‘Gedi VL8’ in most horticultural characteristics, however plants of the new cultivar have ray florets of a different color, more inflorescences per flowering branch, and a smaller diameter bloom than plants of the female parent variety.
Plants of the new cultivar are similar to plants of the male parent variety, ‘Gedi One Sor’ in most horticultural characteristics, however plants of the new cultivar have fewer ray florets, more blooms per flowering branch, and a smaller diameter bloom than plants of the male parent variety.
In comparison to the commercially available variety ‘Cleargar GFI’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,463), ‘Gedi Two Fio’ blooms earlier naturally, has fewer ray florets per inflorescence, and has more inflorescences per flowering branch.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
The photograph shows a plant of ‘Gedi Two Fio’ grown in a six-inch container. One cutting was used in the pot.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
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 Oxnard, Calif. during the month of December and January. The age of the observed plants is 94 days from a rooted cutting. The growing temperature ranged from 55° to 68° F. at night to 60° to 75° F. during the day. Measurements and numerical values represent averages of typical flowering types.
