Abstract
A new and distinct Chrysanthemum cultivar named `Chakara` is provided. The new cultivar was the result of a controlled breeding program. Attractive bright bronze anemone blossoms are formed in profusion (as illustrated). The response period of the flowers is approximately eight weeks. Recurrent flower production throughout the year is possible. The plant possesses soft and thin stems, forms attractive leaves, and commonly assumes a height of approximately 30 to 35 cm. The new cultivar is particularly suited for use in the production of a decorative pot Chrysanthemum. No growth regulator is required to achieve the short plant height.
