Abstract

A new variety of Chrysanthemum plant named ‘Dragon Time,’ having a full canopy of yellow and red single flowers. The new variety ‘Dragon Time’ has a medium to tall vigor with a free branching habit and a good foliage presentation.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species: Botanical classification: Chrysanthemum morifolium.
Variety denomination: The new Chrysanthemum variety denomination is ‘Dragon 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 ‘Dragon Time.’
‘Dragon Time,’ identified as 21612-0, originated from a cross made by Ruth Redman in a controlled breeding program in Vinnetrow Road, Chichester, West Sussex, United Kingdom. The female parent of the new variety is cultivar Machismo Time (U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 09/957,493). The male parent of the new variety is Swing Time Dark (U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 09/900,239). The new variety ‘Dragon 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
‘Dragon Time’ is a pot type of Chrysanthemum plant variety having yellow and red bi-color single flowers.
Comparison with Female Parent
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Dragon Time’ are dissimilar to the parent cultivar 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 ‘Dragon Time’ differed from plants of the parent cultivar in the following characteristics.
1. The new variety ‘Dragon Time’ produces red and yellow single flowers whereas the parent cultivar produces brighter yellow and deeper red single flowers.
2. Plants of the new variety ‘Dragon Time’ have smaller and shorter inflorescence than plants of the parent cultivar.
3. The new variety ‘Dragon Time’ has a quicker response time than the plants of ‘Machismo Time.’
Comparison with Male Parent
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Dragon Time’ are dissimilar to the parent cultivar 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 ‘Dragon Time’ differed from plants of the parent cultivar in the following characteristics.
1. The new variety ‘Dragon Time’ produces yellow and red single flowers whereas the parent cultivar produces deep orange single flowers.
2. Plants of the new variety ‘Dragon Time’ have larger and taller inflorescence than plants of the parent cultivar.
Comparison with Other Varieties
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Dragon Time’ are similar to the cultivar (U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 10/622,678) 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 ‘Dragon Time’ differed from plants of the cultivar in the following characteristics.
1. The new variety ‘Dragon Time’ produces yellow and red single flowers whereas the cultivar ‘Nirvana Improved’ also produces yellow and red single flowers.
2. Plants of the new variety ‘Dragon Time’ have smaller and shorter inflorescence than plants of the cultivar ‘Nirvana Improved.’
3. Plants of the new variety ‘Dragon Time’ respond faster than plants of the cultivar ‘Nirvana Improved.’
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATION
Typical specimens of the plant and flowers for the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Dragon Time’ are shown in the accompanying digital photograph. The colors shown are as true as possible within the usual limits of this kind of illustration.
FIG. 1 is a whole plant view of the new variety ‘Dragon Time’ grown in a pot. The plant shown in the illustration is 54 days from the commencement of Short Days.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The following description of the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Dragon Time’ is of plants grown in a greenhouse in Chichester, West Sussex, United Kingdom in the month of July. The cultivar has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary significantly with variations in the environment such as temperature, length of day and light intensity, without any variance in genotype. The commercial classification of the new variety is a pot Chrysanthemum.
Plants of the new variety have been grown successfully under temperature conditions averaging about 19° C. at night and about 17° C. to 24° C. during the day under light conditions of about 5,000 to 6,000 foot candles. The plants respond well to the use of growth retardant, such as one B9 treatment at about 2 gm per liter. To produce a commercial product the plants may be pinched once with the center bud removed. The typical container size for commercial growth is 1 liter. It has been observed that the shelf life of the new variety is about 25 days with a response time of about 7 weeks. The new variety is suitable for growth in a temperature range of 15° C. to 25° C.
The new variety may be produced as a spray. The following description is with respect to a plant produced as pot. In the description of this new Chrysanthemum variety, color values have been taken from The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (R.H.S.C.C.).
