Description

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

Varietal denomination: ‘CIDZ0117’.

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 ‘CIDZ0117’.

‘CIDZ0117’ is a product of a planned breeding program. The new cultivar has large red double type inflorescences, moderately vigorous, strong and uniform plant habit, and a flowering response time of 7.5 weeks.

‘CIDZ0117’ originated from a hybridization made in October 2017 in a greenhouse in Gilroy, Calif. The female parent was the unpatented plant designated as ‘F0419’, having 25% smaller decorative inflorescences, 25% smaller foliage and 5 day slower flowering response when compared to ‘CIDZ0117’.

The male parent of ‘CIDZ0117’ was the unpatented, proprietary plant designated as ‘C0371’, having bronze semi-double type inflorescences with abundant pollen production, and larger flower size when compared to ‘CIDZ0117’.

The seed was sown in July 2018 and the resulting plants were grown out of doors in a field covered by saran cloth in Fort Myers, Fla. ‘CIDZ0117’ was selected as one flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in December 2018.

The first act of asexual reproduction of ‘CIDZ0117’ was accomplished when vegetative cuttings were propagated from the initial selection in March 2019, in Gilroy Calif.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF INVENTION

Horticultural examination of plants grown from cuttings of the plant initiated in March 2019 and continuing thereafter, has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for ‘CIDZ0117’ are firmly fixed and are retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.

‘CIDZ0117’ 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.

‘CIDZ0117’ 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 ‘CIDZ0117’ 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 drawings show typical flower and foliage characteristics of ‘CIDZ0117’ with colors being as true as possible with an illustration of this type.

The photographic drawing shows in FIG. 1 a close-up view of an inflorescence, and in FIG. 2 a flowering plant of the new variety.

 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION

The plant descriptions and measurements were taken indoors in Gilroy, Calif. in August 2022 on about 11 week old plants. Unrooted cuttings had been planted, 4 plants per pot, in 6 inch pots in May 2022. The plants were pinched and moved to short days in June 2022 to induce flowering.

The aforementioned photographs: FIGS. 1 and 2 was taken in Gilroy, Calif. in May 2022, and showing a plant from a trial, in which flowering had been induced by applying black cloth. These plants were about 11 weeks of age. Unrooted cuttings had been planted, 4 plants per pot, in 6 inch pots. The plants were pinched and moved to short days to induce flowering.
