Abstract

A new variety of Chrysanthemum plant named ‘Allegro Jazz’ having a good uniform canopy of bright purple decorative flowers. The new variety has medium vigor, a free branching and uniform spreading habit, and good foliage presentation.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species: Botanical classification: Chrysanthemum morifolium.
Variety denomination: The new Chrysanthemum variety denomination is ‘Allegro Jazz.’
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 ‘Allegro Jazz.’
‘Allegro Jazz,’ identified as 31037, originated from a cross made in a controlled breeding program in Chichester, West Sussex, United Kingdom. The female parent of the new variety is the unpatented variety ‘Endurance.’ The male parent of the new variety is an undistributed, unpatented seedling identified as ‘G5E6.’ The new variety ‘Allegro Jazz’ 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
‘Allegro Jazz’ is a garden type of Chrysanthemum plant having a domed-round plant form carrying bright purple decorative flowers.
Comparison with Female Parent
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Allegro Jazz’ are dissimilar to the parent ‘Endurance’ 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 ‘Allegro Jazz’ differed from plants of the parent ‘Endurance’ in the following characteristics.
    • 1. The new variety ‘Allegro Jazz’ produces light purple medium sized decorative flowers whereas the parent ‘Endurance’ produces deep purple small type decorative flowers.
    • 2. Plants of the new variety ‘Allegro Jazz’ have larger and shorter inflorescence than plants of the parent ‘Endurance.’
    • 3. The variety ‘Allegro Jazz’ has a more round shape habit than the parent variety ‘Endurance.’
Comparison with Other Varieties
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Allegro Jazz’ are similar to the patented variety ‘Debonair’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,324) 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 ‘Allegro Jazz’ differed from plants of ‘Debonair’ in the following characteristics.
    • 1. The new variety ‘Allegro Jazz’ produces a deeper purple colored flower than ‘Debonair.’
    • 2. The new variety ‘Allegro Jazz’ produces larger flowers than ‘Debonair.’
    • 3. The new variety ‘Allegro Jazz’ has a more round shape than ‘Debonair.’
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATION
Typical specimens of the plant and flowers for the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Allegro Jazz’ 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 ‘Allegro Jazz’ grown in a pot. The plant shown in the illustration is 70 days from the commencement of planting outdoors in mid-June.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The following description of the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Allegro Jazz’ 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 60° F. to 75° F. during the day under natural light conditions. The plants were grown outdoors in mid-June in 4 liter pots using a 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 liters (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. 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.).
