Abstract
A new variety of Chrysanthemum plant named ‘Mermaid Yellow Improved’, having a domed, round canopy of yellow decorative type flowers.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species: Botanical classification: Chrysanthemum morifolium.
Variety denomination: The new Chrysanthemum variety denomination is ‘Mermaid Yellow Improved’.
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum botanically known as Chrysanthemum morifolium, and referred to by the cultivar name ‘Mermaid Yellow Improved’.
‘Mermaid Yellow Improved’ originated from a naturally occurring whole plant mutation grown in a controlled planting of the planting of the unpatented variety “Mermaid” in Chichester, West Sussex, United Kingdom.
The new variety ‘Mermaid Yellow Improved’ 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.
‘Mermaid Yellow Improved’ is a garden type of Chrysanthemum plant variety having a domed capitulum of yellow decorative type flowers.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Mermaid Yellow Improved’ are similar to the original cultivar ‘Mermaid’ 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 ‘Mermaid Yellow Improved’ differed from plants of the original cultivar ‘Mermaid’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. The new variety ‘Mermaid Yellow Improved’ produces yellow decorative type flowers whereas the original cultivar ‘Mermaid’ produces white decorative type flowers.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Mermaid Yellow Improved’ are dissimilar to plants of the unpatented variety ‘Firecracker’ 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 ‘Mermaid Yellow Improved’ differed from plants of ‘Firecracker’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. The new variety ‘Mermaid Yellow Improved’ produces pale yellow decorative type flowers whereas ‘Firecracker’ produces golden yellow decorative type flowers.
- 2. Plants of the new variety ‘Mermaid Yellow Improved’ have larger and taller inflorescence than plants of ‘Firecracker’.
- 3. Plants of the new variety ‘Mermaid Yellow Improved’ have a shorter natural season response time than plants of ‘Firecracker’.
Typical specimens of the plant and flowers for the new Chrysanthemum variety ‘Mermaid Yellow Improved’ 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 ‘Mermaid Yellow Improved’ grown in a pot. The plant shown in the illustration and described below is 63 days from the commencement of planting outdoors natural season.
The following description of the new Chrysanthemum variety, ‘Mermaid Yellow Improved’ 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 50° F. to 75° F. during the day. The plants were grown outdoors 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 27 days with a response time of about 9 weeks natural season. The new variety is suitable for growth in a temperature range of about 50° F. to 75° F.
The new variety may be produced as a garden pot plant. The following description is with respect to a plant produced as pot Chrysanthemum. 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.) by comparison to the new Chrysanthemum variety itself and may differ from the colors shown in the accompanying photograph.
