Abstract
A new and distinct Chrysanthemum cultivar named `Chasica` is provided. The new cultivar was the result of a controlled breeding program. Attractive very large double incurved blossoms of the pompon type are formed that are deep red-bronze on the inside and golden-bronze on the outside. The blossoms are long lasting and the coloration is well maintained with maturity. The response period of the flowers is approximately nine and one-half weeks. Recurrent profuse flower production throughout the year is possible. The plant possesses strong stems, and commonly assumes a height of approximately 45 cm. The new cultivar is particularly suited for use in the production of a decorative pot Chrysanthemum and can be grown single-stem or disbudded. No growth regulator is required to achieve the specified plant height.
