1. A new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant named ‘PP CON Y05’ as herein illustrated and described.
|
Latin name of the genus and species: Chrysanthemum morifolium.
Variety denomination: ‘PPP CON Y05’.
The new cultivar ‘PPP CON Y05’ is a product of an induced mutation of the parent Chrysanthemum plant variety ‘PPP CON OR05’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 18,094) using gamma ray treatment at a dose of 20 Gy. The new cultivar was discovered and selected by Dirk Pieters in September 2003 in Oostnieuwkerke, Belgium.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar ‘PPP CON Y05’ by terminal cuttings and tissue culture was performed in Oostnieuwkerke, Belgium and Oxnard, Calif., and has shown that the unique features of this new cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type on successive generations.
The cultivar ‘PPP CON Y05’ has 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 ‘PPP CON Y05.’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘PPP CON Y05’ as a new and distinct Chrysanthemum cultivar:
Plants of the new cultivar ‘PPP CON Y05’ are similar to plants to the parent variety, ‘PPP CON OR05,’ in most horticultural characteristics, however plants of the new cultivar ‘PPP CON Y05’ are smaller in height than the parent. Also, ‘PPP CON Y05’ have a larger inflorescence diameter. Finally, the ray florets of ‘PPP CON Y05’ are bright yellow compared to the orange ray florets of the parent.
In comparison to the commercially available variety ‘GEDI ONE AVI’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,455), ‘PPP CON Y05’ has a much wider plant spread. Additionally, the new variety ‘PPP CON Y05’ has lighter, greener foliage. Further, the new variety ‘PPP CON Y05’ has a longer inflorescence longevity and the ray florets are a much brighter, truer yellow than the yellow-orange ray florets of the comparable variety ‘GEDI ONE AVI.’

In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The following observations and measurements describe ‘PPP CON Y05’ plants grown in Oxnard, Ventura County, Calif., during the months of the May through September. The growing temperature ranged from 12° C. to 15° C. at night to 12° C. to 20° C. during the day. Measurements and numerical values represent averages of typical flowering types.
