Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant named Lierway is provided. The new cultivar is a spontaneous mutation of the Broadway cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,737) and exhibits distinctively colored blossoms of the generally flat capitulum form and the single capitulum type. More specifically, the new cultivar forms attractive yellow flowers having an anthocyanin dot at the flower center which can be readily distinguished from the soft pink flowers of the Broadway parent which include a similar dark dot at the flower center. The new cultivar is particularly suited for use in the production of a cut daisy spray under greenhouse conditions.
