USPP36240P2 - Chrysanthemum plant named ‘CIFZ0110’ - Google Patents

Abstract

A new garden type Chrysanthemum plant named ‘CIFZ0110’ particularly distinguished by its medium size plant with round plant habit, a medium size decorative flower with yellow flower color, and a natural season response in early September.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed: Chrysanthemum x morifolium.

Varietal denomination: ‘CIFZ0110’.

BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT

The present invention comprises a new Chrysanthemum, botanically known as Chrysanthemum x morifolium, and hereinafter referred to by the variety name ‘CIFZ0110’.

‘CIFZ0110’ is a product of a planned breeding program. The new cultivar has a medium size plant with round plant habit, a medium size decorative flower with yellow flower color, and a natural season response in early September.

‘CIFZ0110’ originated from a cross made in November 2018 in Enkhuizen, The Netherlands. Seeds were sown in June 2019 in Gilroy, California and ‘CIFZ0110’ was selected from the resulting population on Nov. 25, 2019 in Alva, Florida.

The female parent was ‘Venos Yellow’, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 29,974

The male parent was an unnamed, unpatented proprietary seedling ‘14-M539’.

	Flower color:	Yellow	Pink/White bicolor
	Flower type:	Less disc florets	More disc florets

	Plant habit:	Similar	Similar

The first act of asexual reproduction of ‘CIFZ0110’ was accomplished when vegetative cuttings were propagated from the initial selection in January 2021 in Alva, Florida.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF INVENTION

Horticultural examination of plants grown from cuttings of the plant initiated in January 2021 and continuing thereafter, has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for ‘CIFZ0110’ are firmly fixed and are retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.

‘CIFZ0110’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity and day length.

A Plant Breeder's Right for this cultivar has not yet been applied for. ‘CIFZ0110’ has not been made publicly available prior to the effective filing date of this application, notwithstanding any disclosure that may have been made less than one year prior to the effective filing date of this application by the inventor or another who obtained ‘CIFZ0110’ directly from the inventor.

The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be basic characteristics of the new variety. The combination of these characteristics distinguishes this Chrysanthemum as a new and distinct variety.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS

The accompanying photographic drawing shows typical flower and foliage characteristics of ‘CIFZ0110’ with colors being as true as possible with an illustration of this type.

The photographic drawing shows in FIG. 1 a close view of flower of the new variety and in FIG. 2 a flowering plant from an indoor trial.

The aforementioned photographs: FIG. 1 , as well as FIG. 2 were taken on Sep. 12, 2023 both showing a plant from the same blackcloth indoor trial in Enkhuizen, The Netherlands.

These plants were about 13 weeks of age. One rooted cutting per pot had been planted in a 15 cm pot, not pinched in week 23, 2023 and black clothed from week 29. Plants started flowering the end of August 2023.

The measurements were taken in Enkhuizen, The Netherlands, in September 2023 on plants from the same indoor blackcloth trial.
