Abstract

A new variety of Chrysanthemum plant named ‘Grace Time Crimson,’ having a good uniform canopy of red single quill type flowers with a light green disc. The new variety has a medium vigor, free branching, with a uniform spreading habit and good a foliage presentation.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species: Botanical classification: Chrysanthemum morifolium.
Variety denomination: The new Chrysanthemum variety denomination is ‘Grace Time Crimson.’
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 variety name ‘Grace Time Crimson.’
‘Grace Time Crimson,’ identified as 20911-28, was discovered as a whole plant mutation found in a controlled cultivated planting of the variety ‘Grace Time Pink’ (U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 10/993,261). The new variety ‘Grace Time Crimson’ 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
‘Grace Time Crimson’ is a pot type of Chrysanthemum plant variety having red single quill type flowers.
Comparison with Parent
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Grace Time Crimson’ are similar to the parent variety ‘Grace Time Pink’ 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 ‘Grace Time Crimson’ compared to plants of the parent variety ‘Grace Time Pink’ in the following characteristics.
    • 1. The new variety ‘Grace Time Crimson’ produces red quill single flowers whereas ‘Grace Time Pink’ produces purple single flowers.
    • 2. Plants of the new variety ‘Grace Time Crimson’ have similar inflorescence to the plants of ‘Grace Time Pink.’
Comparison with Other Varieties
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Grace Time Crimson’ are dissimilar to the variety ‘Texas Time Red’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 15,015) 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 ‘Grace Time Crimson’ differed from plants of the variety ‘Texas Time Red’ in the following characteristics.
    • 1. The new variety ‘Grace Time Crimson’ produces red quill single flowers whereas ‘Texas Time Red’ produces red quill spoon tip single flowers.
    • 2. Plants of the new variety ‘Grace Time Crimson’ have smaller and shorter inflorescence than plants of ‘Texas Time Red.’
    • 3. The new variety ‘Grace Time Crimson’ has a quicker response time than the plants of ‘Texas Time Red.’
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATION
Typical specimens of the plant and flowers for the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Grace Time Crimson’ 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 ‘Grace Time Crimson’ grown in a pot.
The plant shown in the illustration is 58 days from the commencement of Short Days.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The following description of the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Grace Time Crimson’ is of plants grown in a greenhouse in Chichester, West Sussex, United Kingdom in the month of September. The variety 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 19° C. at night and about 17° C. to 24° C. during the day under light conditions of about 5,000 to 6,000 foot candles. The plants respond well to the use of growth retardant, such as one B9 treatment at about 2 gm per liter. To produce a commercial product the plants may be pinched once with the center bud removed. The typical container size for commercial growth is 1 liter. It has been observed that the shelf life of the new variety is about 21 days with a response time of about 7.5 weeks. The new variety is suitable for growth in a temperature range of 15° C. to 25° C.
The new variety may be produced as a spray. The following description is with respect to a plant produced as pot. 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.).
