Abstract

A new and distinct Charm Chrysanthemum cultivar is provided that is the result of a controlled breeding program. Attractive small daisy-like blossoms are formed in profusion in clusters having green disc florets that change to yellow with maturity and two rows of pink ray florets that change to light pink towards the extremity with maturity. The growth habit is bushy, dense, and well-branched with short internodes and yields a generally uniform and spherical overall plant. The foliage is small and dark green in coloration, and blends nicely with the blossom coloration. The upper surface of the leaves possesses a margin that is light greyed-green in coloration. The response time is approximately eight weeks. The natural flowering time is late-October. When mature the blossoms emit pollen that is yellow in coloration. The plant grows well in pots, and possesses no particular susceptibility to insects and diseases.
