Abstract

A new and distinct Chrysanthemum plant cultivar is disclosed, characterized by a light bronze decorative inflorescence which naturally blooms in mid September. The plant has a rounded form and an extremely flexible habit.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species: Chrysanthemum morifolium.
Variety denomination: ‘Gedi Two Kis’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of decorative-type Chrysanthemum plant, herein after referred to by the cultivar name ‘Gedi Two Kis.’ The new cultivar is a product of hybridization of a female parent Chrysanthemum plant variety ‘Red Elani’ (undistributed in the United States, origin unknown) and a male parent Chrysanthemum plant variety ‘Gedi Oro 8’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,569). The new cultivar was discovered and selected by Dirk Pieters in Staden, Belgium, in October, 2000.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by vegetative cuttings and tissue culture was performed in Staden, Belgium and 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 Kis’ 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 Kis.’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Gedi Two Kis’ as a new and distinct Chrysanthemum cultivar:
1. Light bronze colored inflorescence.
2. Decorative-type inflorescence.
3. Naturally blooms in mid September.
4. Plant form is exceptionally round.
5. Plant has an extremely flexible habit.
Plants of the new cultivar are similar to plants of the female parent variety, ‘Red Elani’ in most horticultural characteristics. However, plants of the new cultivar have light bronze ray florets as compared to red ray florets of ‘Red Elani.’ Additionally, plants of the new cultivar have almost twice as many ray florets as ‘Red Elani.’ Further, the new variety is taller than ‘Red Elani.’
Plants of the new cultivar are similar to plants of the male parent variety, ‘Gedi Oro 8’ in most horticultural characteristics, however the inflorescence of the new cultivar has more ray florets and less disc florets than plants of the male parent variety. The ray florets of the new variety are a lighter bronze in color, whereas the ray florets of the male parent variety, ‘Gedi Oro 8’ are darker bronze in color. Additionally, the new variety blooms approximately two weeks earlier than the male parent variety.
The new cultivar is similar to the commercial variety ‘Gedi Two Sap’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,731) in plant shape and flower type. In comparison to ‘Gedi Two Sap’, the new variety has a smaller diameter inflorescence with lighter bronze ray florets. The new variety is also taller and blooms approximately 3 weeks earlier than ‘Gedi Two Sap.’
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
The photograph shows a plant of ‘Gedi Two Kis.’ One cutting was planted in a two-gallon container in May. The plant was grown outdoors in Oxnard, Calif.
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 110 day old plants grown in Oxnard, Calif., during the month of September. Light conditions were bright, and no artificial shading was used. The humidity was low and no rainfall occurred. The growing temperature ranged from 15° C. to 21° C. at night, with day temperatures ranging from 19° C. to 32° C. Measurements and numerical values represent averages of typical flowering types.
