plant named ‘CIDZ0119’

Abstract

A new Chrysanthemum plant named ‘CIDZ0119’ particularly distinguished by its medium sized red and yellow bicolored daisy-type inflorescences, strong and uniform plant habit, and a flowering response time of seven weeks.

Description

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

Varietal denomination: ‘CIDZ0119’.

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 ‘CIDZ0119’.

‘CIDZ0119’ is a product of a planned breeding program. The new cultivar has medium sized red and yellow bicolored daisy-type inflorescences, strong and uniform plant habit, and a flowering response time of seven weeks.

‘CIDZ0119’ originated from a hybridization made in August 2013 in a greenhouse in Gilroy, California. The female parent was ‘Outrageous Red’ designated as ‘CIDZ0063’, U.S. Plant Pat. No. PP27,386, having red daisy-type inflorescences, a larger flower size and less vigorous plant habit when compared to ‘CIDZ0119’.

The male parent of ‘CIDZ0119’ was the unpatented, proprietary breeding line designated as ‘B8831’, having red daisy-type inflorescences, more vigorous growth habit and slower flowering response than ‘CIDZ0119’.

The seed was sown in July 2018 and the resulting plants were grown out of doors under shade structure in Alva, Florida. ‘CIDZ0119’ was selected as one flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in December 2018.

The first act of asexual reproduction of ‘CIDZ0119’ was accomplished when vegetative stem cuttings were propagated from the initial selection in March 2019 in Alva, Florida.

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 ‘CIDZ0119’ are firmly fixed and are retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.

‘CIDZ0119’ 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. ‘CIDZ0119’ 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 ‘CIDZ0119’ 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 ‘CIDZ0119’ with colors being as true as possible with an illustration of this type. The photographic drawings, taken in Gilroy, California in August 2021 on approximately 11 weeks old plants, show in

FIG. 1 a close-up view of the inflorescence of the new variety and in

FIG. 2 a whole flowering plant.

DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION

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

Color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (RHS) 2001.
