Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant named ‘Como Red’, characterized by its upright, outwardly spreading and uniformly rounded plant habit; vigorous growth habit; freely branching habit; dense and full plant habit; dark green-colored leaves; uniform and freely flowering habit; long flowering period; and decorative-type inflorescences with dark red-colored ray florets.
Description
Botanical designation: Chrysanthemum X morifolium.
Cultivar denomination: ‘COMO RED’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant, botanically known as Chrysanthemum X morifolium and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘COMO RED’.
The new Chrysanthemum plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Oostnieuwkerke, Belgium. The objective of the breeding program is to create new uniformly mounding and freely flowering Chrysanthemum plants with unique and attractive ray floret coloration.
The new Chrysanthemum plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in October, 2012 in Oostnieuwkerke, Belgium of a proprietary selection of Chrysanthemum X morifolium identified as code number GE06 8796, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Chrysanthemum X morifolium identified as code number GE07 9359, 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 Oostnieuwkerke, Belgium in October, 2013.
Asexual reproduction of the new Chrysanthemum plant by vegetative terminal cuttings was first conducted in a controlled greenhouse environment in Oostnieuwkerke, Belgium in January, 2014. Asexual reproduction by vegetative terminal cuttings has shown that the unique features of this new Chrysanthemum plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Como Red’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Como Red’ as a new and distinct Chrysanthemum plant:
-
- 1. Upright, outwardly spreading and uniformly rounded plant habit; vigorous growth habit.
- 2. Freely branching habit; dense and full plant habit.
- 3. Dark green-colored leaves.
- 4. Uniform and freely flowering habit.
- 5. Long flowering period.
- 6. Decorative-type inflorescences with dark red-colored ray florets.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum can be compared to plants of the female parent selection. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum differ primarily from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum are more uniformly rounded than plants of the female parent selection.
- 2. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum are more vigorous than plants of the female parent selection.
- 3. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum flower about four to five weeks later than plants of the female parent selection.
- 4. Ray florets of plants of the new Chrysanthemum are dark red in color whereas ray florets of plants of the female parent selection are dark violet in color.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum can be compared to plants of the male parent selection. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum differ primarily from plants of the male parent selection in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum are more uniformly rounded than plants of the male parent selection.
- 2. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum flower about three weeks later than plants of the male parent selection.
- 3. Ray florets of plants of the new Chrysanthemum are more intensely dark red than ray florets of plants of the male parent selection.
Plants of the new Chrysanthemum can be compared to plants of the Chrysanthemum X morifolium ‘Gedi Two Cam’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 14,472. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Chrysanthemum differ primarily from plants of ‘Gedi Two Cam’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum are more vigorous than plants of ‘Gedi Two Cam’.
- 2. Plants of the new Chrysanthemum flower about three weeks later than plants of ‘Gedi Two Cam’.
- 3. Inflorescences of plants of the new Chrysanthemum are smaller than inflorescences of plants of ‘Gedi Two Cam’.
- 4. Ray florets of plants of the new Chrysanthemum are more intensely dark red than ray florets of plants of ‘Gedi Two Cam’.
The accompanying photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new Chrysanthemum plant showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type.
The photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Como Red’ grown in a container.
The aforementioned photograph and following observations and measurements describe plants grown in 19-cm containers in an outdoor nursery in Oostnieuwkerke, Belgium during the summer and autumn and under cultural practices generally used in commercial Chrysanthemum production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 20° C. to 25° C. and night temperatures ranged from 12° C. to 18° C. Plants were 20 weeks old when the photograph and detailed description were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2007, Fifth Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
