Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant named Funglow is provided. The new cultivar is a spontaneous mutation of the Funray cultivar (non-patented in the United States). More specifically, the new cultivar forms attractive relatively small bicolored flowers wherein the petals are dark yellow and the disc florets on the distal ends particularly towards the center bear a dark greyed-purple coloration (as illustrated). The infloresence tends to be pyramidal in configuration. The response period of the flowers is approximately eight weeks. The new cultivar is particularly suited for use in the production of a cut anemone spray under greenhouse conditions.
