Abstract

A new variety of Chrysanthemum plant named ‘Stereophonics,’ having a good uniform canopy of large white spatulate single flowers with a green disc. The new variety has medium vigor with a domed capitulum, free branching, and uniform spreading habit with good foliage presentation.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species: Botanical classification: Chrysanthemum morifolium.
Variety denomination: The new Chrysanthemum variety denomination is ‘Stereophonics.’
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 ‘Stereophonics’. ‘Stereophonics’, identified as 21214-0 originated from a cross made in a controlled breeding program in Chichester, West Sussex, United Kingdom. The female parent of the new variety, identified as ‘P301D2,’ is an undistributed, unpatented seedling identified as a white single. The male parent of the new variety, identified as ‘P381D6,’ is an undistributed, unpatented seedling identified as a white single with longer ray florets. The new variety ‘Stereophonics’ 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
‘Stereophonics’ is a pot type of Chrysanthemum plant variety having large white spatulate single flowers.
Comparison with Female Parent
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Stereophonics’ are similar to the female parent ‘P301D2’ 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 ‘Stereophonics’ compared to plants of the female parent cultivar, in the following characteristics.
    • 1. The new variety ‘Stereophonics’ produces large white spatulate single flowers whereas the parent produces large white broad flat single flowers.
    • 2. Plants of the new variety ‘Stereophonics’ have larger and taller inflorescence than plants of the parent.
Comparison with Male Parent
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Stereophonics’ are similar to the male parent ‘P381D6’ 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 ‘Stereophonics’ compared to plants of ‘P381D6’ in the following characterisctics.
    • 1. The new variety ‘Stereophonics’ produces large white spatulate single flowers whereas the parent produces large white broad flat single flowers.
    • 2. Plants of the new variety ‘Stereophonics’ have larger and taller inflorescence than plants of the parent.
Comparison with Other Varieties
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Stereophonics’ are similar to ‘Cool Time’ (U.S. Plant patent application Publication No. 2002/0129416) 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 ‘Stereophonics’ differed from plants of ‘Cool Time’ in the following characteristics.
    • 1. The new variety ‘Stereophonics’ produces white spatulate single flowers whereas ‘Cool Time’ produces white broad flat single flowers.
    • 2. Plants of the new variety ‘Stereophonics’ have larger and taller inflorescence than plants of ‘Cool Time’.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATIONS
Typical specimens of the plant and flowers for the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Stereophonics’ 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 ‘Stereophonics’ grown in a pot. The plant shown in the illustration and described here is 52 days after the commencement of Short Days.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The following description of the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Stereophonics’ is of plants grown in a greenhouse in Chichester, West Sussex, United Kingdom in the month of February. 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 18° C. at night and about 24° C. to 25° C. during the day under light conditions of about 5000 to 6000 foot candles. The plants respond well to the use of growth retardant, such as B9 treatment. To produce a commercial product the plants may be pinched once with the center bud removed. The typical container size for commercial growth is 14 cm. It has been observed that the shelf life of the new variety is about 24 days with a response time of about 7 weeks. The new variety is suitable for growth in a temperature range of 17° C. to 28° C.
