Abstract

A new variety of Chrysanthemum plant named ‘Nighthawk Yellow’, having a domed, round habit and yellow decorative flowers. The new variety has good foliage presentation and weather resistance.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species: Botanical classification: Chrysanthemum morifolium.
Variety denomination: The new Chrysanthemum variety denomination is ‘Nighthawk Yellow. ’
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 ‘Nighthawk Yellow. ’
‘Nighthawk Yellow’ identified as 30219-1, originated from a naturally occurring whole plant mutation in a controlled planting of the unpatented variety ‘Nighthawk’ in Chichester, West Sussex, United Kingdom. The new variety ‘Nighthawk Yellow’ 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
‘Nighthawk Yellow’ is a garden type of Chrysanthemum plant variety having a domed, round habit and yellow decorative flowers.
Comparison with Parent
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Nighthawk Yellow’ are similar to the parent variety ‘Nighthawk’ in plant habit and growth rate. In side-by-side comparisons in Chichester, West Sussex, United Kingdom, under commercial practice, plants of the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Nighthawk Yellow’ differ from plants of the parent ‘Nighthawk’ in the following characteristic.
    • 1. The new variety ‘Nighthawk Yellow’ produces yellow flowers whereas the parent ‘Nighthawk’ produces pink flowers.
Comparison with Other Varieties
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Nighthawk Yellow’ are similar to the patented variety ‘Gold Crest’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,606) in plant habit and growth rate. However, in side-by-side comparisons in Chichester, West Sussex, United Kingdom, under commercial practice, plants of the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Nighthawk Yellow’ differed from plants of ‘Gold Crest’ in the following characteristics.
    • 1. The new variety ‘Nighthawk Yellow’ produces clear yellow decorative flowers whereas ‘Gold Crest’ produces yellow/bronze flowers.
    • 2. The new variety ‘Nighthawk Yellow’ produces smaller flowers than ‘Gold Crest’.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATION
Typical specimens of the plant and flowers for the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Nighthawk Yellow’ 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 ‘Nighthawk Yellow’ grown in a pot.
The plant shown in the illustration is 70 days from commencement of planting outdoors in mid-June.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The following description of the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Nighthawk Yellow’ is of plants grown outside, natural season, in Chichester, West Sussex, United Kingdom in the month of June. 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 garden Chrysanthemum.
Plants of the new variety have been grown successfully under temperature conditions averaging about 50° F. at night and about 65° F. to 75° F. during the day under natural light conditions. The plants were grown outdoors in mid-June in 4 liter pots using loamless compost. No growth retardants were used. To produce a commercial product the plants may be pinched once with the center bud removed. The typical container size for commercial growth is 4 liter (8″). It has been observed that the shelf life of the new variety is about 26 days with a response time of about 10 weeks natural season. The new variety is suitable for growth in a temperature range of 50° F. to 75° F. The new variety may be produced as a pot plant. The following description is with respect to a plant produced as a garden pot plant. 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.).
