Description

Botanical designation: Chrysanthemum×morifolium.
Cultivar denomination: ‘FIMMSUNRED’.
CROSS-REFERENCED TO CLOSELY RELATED APPLICATIONS
Title: Chrysanthemum Plant Named ‘FIMMERDERED’.
Applicant: Peter Wain.
Filed: Concurrently with this application. U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 13/987,340.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct Chrysanthemum plant, botanically known as Chrysanthemum×morifolium, commercially grown as a garden Chrysanthemum and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Fimmsunred’.
The new Chrysanthemum plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Fareham, Hampshire, United Kingdom. The objective of the breeding program is to create new early flowering garden Chrysanthemum plants with numerous attractive inflorescences.
The new Chrysanthemum plant originated from a cross-pollination made in January, 2008 by the Inventor in Fareham, Hampshire, United Kingdom of a proprietary selection of Chrysanthemum×morifolium identified as code number 82970, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Chrysanthemum×morifolium identified as code number 83261, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. 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 Fareham, Hampshire, United Kingdom in September, 2008.
Asexual reproduction of the new Chrysanthemum by terminal vegetative cuttings was first conducted in Fareham, Hampshire, United Kingdom in December, 2008. Asexual reproduction by terminal vegetative cuttings has shown that the unique features of this new Chrysanthemum are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions and cultural practices. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environmental conditions 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 ‘Fimmsunred’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Fimmsunred’ as a new and distinct Chrysanthemum plant:
    • 1. Upright to outwardly spreading and uniformly mounded plant habit.
    • 2. Freely branching habit; dense and full plant habit.
    • 3. Uniform and freely flowering habit.
    • 4. Medium-size decorative-type inflorescences with dark purple-colored ray florets.
    • 5. Early flowering habit, under natural season conditions, plants flower the third week in August in the United Kingdom.
    • 6. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum can be compared to plants of the female parent selection. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum differ from plants of the female parent selection, in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Under natural season conditions, plants of the new Chrysanthemum flower earlier than plants of the female parent selection.
    • 2. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum have larger inflorescences than plants of the female parent selection.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum can be compared to plants of the male parent selection. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum differ from plants of the male parent selection, in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum are more compact than and not as vigorous as plants of the male parent selection.
    • 2. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum and the male parent selection differ in ray floret color as plants of the male parent selection have pink-colored ray florets.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum can be compared to plants of Chrysanthemum×morifolium ‘Fimmerdered’, disclosed in U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 13/987,340 filed concurrently. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Fareham, Hampshire, United Kingdom, plants of the new Chrysanthemum differ from plants of ‘Fimmerdered’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum are more compact than and not as vigorous as plants of ‘Fimmerdered’.
    • 2. Under natural season conditions, plants of the new Chrysanthemum flower earlier than plants of ‘Fimmerdered’.
    • 3. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum have larger inflorescences than plants of ‘Fimmerdered’.
    • 4. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum and ‘Fimmerdered’ differ slightly in ray floret color.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum can also be compared to plants of Chrysanthemum×morifolium ‘Yotabitha’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 16,110. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Fareham, Hampshire, United Kingdom, plants of the new Chrysanthemum differed from plants of ‘Yotabitha’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum were more mounded than and not as upright as plants of ‘Yotabitha’.
    • 2. Under natural season conditions, plants of the new Chrysanthemum flowered earlier than plants of ‘Yotabitha’.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
The accompanying photograph illustrates 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 photograph may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Chrysanthemum.
The photograph comprises a top perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Fimmsunred’ grown in a container.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photograph and following observations and measurements describe plants grown during the winter in 14-cm containers in a glass-covered greenhouse in Fareham, Hampshire, United Kingdom and under cultural practices typical of commercial garden Chrysanthemum production. During the production of the plants, day and night temperatures ranged from 17° C. to 21° C. and light levels averaged 6,000 lux. Plants were pinched one time and were about twelve weeks old when the photograph and detailed description were taken.
