Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant named ‘Soft Yocheryl’, characterized by its upright, outwardly spreading and rounded plant habit; freely branching habit; freely flowering habit; decorative-type inflorescences with elongated oblong-shaped ray florets; light lavender-colored ray florets; natural season flowering in early October in the Northern Hemisphere; and good garden performance.
Description
Botanical classification/cultivar designation: Chrysanthemum×morifolium cultivar Soft Yocheryl.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant, botanically known as Chrysanthemum×morifolium, commercially known as a garden-type Chrysanthemum and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Soft Yocheryl’.
The new Chrysanthemum is a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of a proprietary Chrysanthemum×morifolium selection identified as code number 93-L603D10, not patented. The new Chrysanthemum was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant within a population of plants of the proprietary selection in a controlled environment in Alva, Fla. in November, 2000. The selection of this plant was based on its desirable inflorescence form, attractive floret coloration and good garden performance.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal vegetative cuttings in a controlled environment in Alva, Fla. since January, 2001, has shown that the unique features of this new Chrysanthemum are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The cultivar Soft Yocheryl 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 ‘Soft Yocheryl’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Soft Yocheryl’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum:
-
- 1. Upright, outwardly spreading and rounded plant habit.
- 2. Freely branching habit.
- 3. Freely flowering habit.
- 4. Decorative-type inflorescences with elongated oblong-shaped ray florets.
- 5. Light lavender-colored ray florets.
- 6. Natural season flowering in early October in the Northern Hemisphere.
- 7. Good garden performance.
In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Alva, Fla. under natural season conditions, plants of the new Chrysanthemum differed from plants of the parent, the selection identified as code number 93-L603D10, primarily in ray floret coloration as plants of the parent selection had orange-colored ray florets.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum can be compared to plants of the Chrysanthemum cultivar Lynn, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,171. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Alva, Fla. under natural season conditions, plants of the new Chrysanthemum differed from plants of the cultivar Lynn in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum were taller and more upright than plants of the cultivar Lynn.
- 2. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum and the cultivar Lynn differed in ray floret coloration as plants of the cultivar Lynn had slightly darker lavender-colored ray florets.
- 3. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum flowered about five days later than plants of the cultivar Lynn.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum can also be compared to plants of the Chrysanthemum cultivar Molfetta, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Alva, Fla. under natural season conditions, plants of the new Chrysanthemum differed from plants of the cultivar Molfetta in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum were more mounded than plants of the cultivar Molfetta.
- 2. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum flowered about two weeks later than plants of the cultivar Molfetta.
The accompanying photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Chrysanthemum. These photographs show the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Chrysanthemum.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Soft Yocheryl’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet comprises a close-up view of typical inflorescences of the cultivar ‘Soft Yocheryl’.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Leamington, Ontario, Canada during the late summer and fall in an outdoor nursery and under conditions and practices which approximate those generally used in commercial garden-type Chrysanthemum production. One cutting was planted in a 15.25-cm container in mid-July. During the production of the plants, plants were exposed to natural season photoperiodic conditions with day temperatures averaging 26° C. and night averaging 18° C. Measurements and numerical values represent averages for typical flowering plants.
