Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant named ‘Sunny Yoblush’, characterized by its uniform and somewhat outwardly spreading plant habit; strong and freely branching growth habit; dark green-colored foliage; uniform flowering response and habit; can be grown as a disbud-type, spray-type or without bud removal; early flowering habit; large daisy-type inflorescences with elongated oblong-shaped ray florets; bright yellow-colored ray florets; and good postproduction longevity with plants maintaining good substance and color for about three weeks in an interior environment.
Description
Botanical designation: Chrysanthemum×morifolium.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Sunny Yoblush’.
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant, botanically known as Chrysanthemum×morifolium and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Sunny Yoblush’.
The new Chrysanthemum is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Salinas, Calif. and Alva, Fla. The objective of the program is to create or discover new potted Chrysanthemum cultivars that are suitable for year-round production with uniform plant growth habit, good vigor and strong branching habit, numerous inflorescences, desirable inflorescence form and floret colors, fast and uniform flowering response, and good postproduction longevity.
The new Chrysanthemum is a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of the Chrysanthemum×morifolium cultivar White Blush, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,441. The new Chrysanthemum was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within a population of plants of the cultivar White Blush in a controlled environment in Salinas, Calif. on Nov. 10, 2002. The selection of this plant was based on its uniform plant growth habit, good vigor and strong branching habit, desirable inflorescence form and floret colors, fast and uniform flowering response, and good postproduction longevity.
Asexual reproduction of the new Chrysanthemum by vegetative tip cuttings was first conducted in Alva, Fla. in February, 2003. Asexual reproduction by cuttings has shown that the unique features of this new Chrysanthemum are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The cultivar Sunny Yoblush has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, daylength, and/or light level, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Sunny Yoblush’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Sunny Yoblush’ as a new and distinct Chrysanthemum:
-
- 1. Uniform and somewhat outwardly spreading plant habit.
- 2. Strong and freely branching growth habit.
- 3. Dark green-colored foliage.
- 4. Uniform flowering response and habit.
- 5. Can be grown as a disbud-type, spray-type or without bud removal.
- 6. Early flowering, eight week response time.
- 7. Large daisy-type inflorescences with elongated oblong-shaped ray florets.
- 8. Bright yellow-colored ray florets.
- 9. Good postproduction longevity with plants maintaining good substance and color for about three weeks in an interior environment.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum can be compared to plants of the parent, the cultivar White Blush. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum differ from plants of the cultivar White Blush primarily in ray floret coloration as plants of the cultivar White Blush have white-colored ray florets.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum can be compared to plants of the cultivar Yellow Blush, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,455. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Alva, Fla., plants of the new Chrysanthemum differed from plants of the cultivar Yellow Blush in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum were taller than plants of the cultivar Yellow Blush.
- 2. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum flowered about three to four days earlier than plants of the cultivar Yellow Blush.
- 3. Ray florets of plants of the new Chrysanthemum were lighter in color than ray florets of plants of the cultivar Yellow Blush.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Chrysanthemum showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ 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 typical flowering plants of ‘Sunny Yoblush’ grown as disbud-types.
The photograph on the second sheet comprises a close-up view of typical inflorescences of ‘Sunny Yoblush’ grown as disbud-types.
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 aforementioned photographs, following observations and measurements describe plants grown and flowered during the spring in Salinas, Calif., in a fiberglass-covered greenhouse and under conditions which approximate those generally used in commercial potted Chrysanthemum production. During the production of these plants, the following conditions were measured: day temperatures, 21 to 27° C.; night temperatures, 17 to 19° C.; and light levels, 5,000 to 6,000 foot-candles. Four unrooted cuttings were directly stuck in 15-cm containers, exposed to long day/short night conditions, and pinched once about two weeks later. At the time of the pinch, the photoinductive short day/long night treatments were initiated. Plants used for the description were grown as disbud-types. Measurements and numerical values represent averages of typical flowering plants.
