Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant named ‘Delitycoon’, characterized by its semi-double-type inflorescences with white-colored ray florets and green-colored disc florets; uniform growth habit; strong and upright flowering stems; freely branching and flowering habit; uniform flowering response; good postproduction longevity; and resistance to Botrytis.
Description
Botanical designation: Chrysanthemum×morifolium.
Cultivar denomination: ‘DELITYCOON’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant, botanically known as Chrysanthemum×morifolium, commercially grown as a cut flower and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Delitycoon’.
The new Chrysanthemum plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in De Lier, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program is to create new freely flowering semi-double-type Chrysanthemum plants with unique ray floret coloration and excellent postproduction longevity.
The new Chrysanthemum plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in De Lier, The Netherlands in September, 2005 of two unnamed proprietary selections of Chrysanthemum×morifolium, not patented. The new Chrysanthemum plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled greenhouse environment in De Lier, The Netherlands in September, 2006.
Asexual reproduction of the new Chrysanthemum plant by terminal cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in De Lier, The Netherlands since October, 2006, has shown that the unique features of this new Chrysanthemum plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum have 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 ‘Delitycoon’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Delitycoon’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum:
-
- 1. Semi-double-type inflorescences with white-colored ray florets and green-colored disc florets.
- 2. Uniform growth habit.
- 3. Strong and upright flowering stems.
- 4. Freely branching and flowering habit.
- 5. Uniform flowering response.
- 6. Good postproduction longevity.
- 7. Resistant to Botrytis.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum are more uniform than plants of the parent selections in growth and flowering habit.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum can be compared to plants of Chrysanthemum×morifolium ‘Noa’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 17,855. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in De Lier, The Netherlands, plants of the new Chrysanthemum differed from plants of ‘Noa’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum had longer flowering stems than plants of ‘Noa’.
- 2. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum had larger leaves than plants of ‘Noa’.
- 3. Ray florets of plants of the new Chrysanthemum were flatter than ray florets of plants of ‘Noa’.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum can also be compared to plants of Chrysanthemum×morifolium ‘Atlantis’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,074. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in De Lier, The Netherlands, plants of the new Chrysanthemum differed from plants of ‘Atlantis’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum had shorter flowering stems than plants of ‘Atlantis’.
- 2. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum flowered earlier than plants of ‘Atlantis’.
- 3. Ray florets of plants of the new Chrysanthemum were more white in color than ray florets of plants of ‘Atlantis’.
- 4. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum were more resistant to Botrytis than plants of ‘Atlantis’.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Chrysanthemum plant. 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 plant.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering stem of ‘Delitycoon’ grown as a spray type.
The photograph on the second sheet comprises close-up views of the upper (top of photograph) and lower surfaces (bottom of photograph) of typical inflorescences and leaves of ‘Delitycoon’.
The aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants grown during the autumn in Maasdijk, The Netherlands, under commercial practice in a glass-covered greenhouse. Plants were initially given 15 days of long day/short night treatments followed by short day/long night treatments to induce flower initiation and development. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 18° C. to 25° C., night temperatures ranged from 20° C. to 22° C. and light levels were about 7 kilolux. Plants were nine weeks old when the photographs and the description were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2007 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
