The new plant of the present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant which is a naturally occurring sport of a chrysanthemum named Reagan, which in turn is a cross of unknown Chrysanthemum morifolium parents. The Chrysanthemum named Reagan is described in co-pending U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 07/780,305. The invention was discovered in 1987 as a whole plant mutation in Holland. The invention has been asexually reproduced by cuttings in greenhouses at Ter Aar, Holland. The new cultivar has been found to retain all of its distinctive characteristics through successive propagations.
The present invention is a new and distinct variety of Chrysanthemum of a medium sized bloom and salmon color.
The present new and distinct chrysanthemum cultivar is shown in the accompanying drawings, the color being as nearly true as possible with color photographs of this type.
Sheet 1 shows the full bloom of the new cultivar;
Sheet 2, top, shows various stages of bloom of the new cultivar; and
Sheet 2, bottom, shows the foliage and petiole of the new cultivar.
This new variety of Chrysanthemum is of the botanical classification Chrysanthemum morifolium, and is named Salmon Reagan. When grown in the vicinity of Ter Aar, Holland, it has a response time of approximately 71/2 weeks. This new variety produces medium sized salmon blooms with a yellow green center having a 4 week performance (i.e., a vase life of 24-28 days). This new variety of chrysanthemum has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics throughout successive propagations and may be planted under greenhouse conditions in Holland between weeks fifty and thirty-five (i.e., between December 1 and August 30). Pest resistance, disease resistance and frost tolerance are unknown.
