Description

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

Varietal denomination: ‘CIDZ0046’.

BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT

The present invention comprises a new Chrysanthemum, botanically known as Chrysanthemum×morifolium, and hereinafter referred to by the variety name ‘CIDZ0046’.

‘CIDZ0046’ is a product of a planned breeding program. The new cultivar has single/daisy type flower form with large red and yellow bi-colored ray florets, uniform habit with strong stems, medium yellow-green foliage color, and a 7 week blackcloth flowering response time.

‘CIDZ0046’ originates as a naturally occurring whole plant mutation of ‘Yoapple Valley’, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 21,420. ‘CIDZ0046’ was discovered and selected by the inventor as a single flowering plant within a large population of the parent cultivar, grown in pots outdoors under a shade structure in Fort Myers, Fla. in March 2009. The parent cultivar ‘Yoapple Valley’ has slightly larger, more red-purple, and white bi-colored inflorescences.

The first act of asexual reproduction of ‘CIDZ0046’ was accomplished when vegetative cuttings were propagated from the initial selection in June 2009 in a greenhouse in Fort Myers, Fla.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF INVENTION

Horticultural examination of plants grown from cuttings of the plant initiated in June 2009, and continuing thereafter, has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for ‘CIDZ0046’ are firmly fixed and are retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.

‘CIDZ0046’ 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 was applied for in Canada on Jun. 29, 2012, (12-7650). ‘CIDZ0046’ has not been made publicly available more than one year prior to the filing of this application.

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 drawings show typical inflorescence and foliage characteristics of ‘CIDZ0046’ with colors being as true as possible with illustrations of this type. The photographic drawing in FIG. 1 shows 4 flowering plants of the new variety growing together in 1 container, and in FIG. 2 a close-up of a more mature inflorescence.

 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION

The plant descriptions, measurements and aforementioned FIG. 1 photograph were taken in Gilroy, Calif. in early October 2012 under natural light. These plants were grown 4 plants in a 6 inch container in a greenhouse in Nipomo, Calif. These plants used in the photograph and descriptions were about 10-12 weeks old. The plant for the FIG. 2 photograph was taken in Nipomo in Mid-October and was about 13-14 weeks old.

Color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (R.H.S.) 2001.
