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 light yellow disc florets and one row of light yellow ray florets. The growth habit is short, bushy, very compact and well-branched with short internodes and yields a generally uniform and spherical overall plant. The foliage has a matte finish, is small and dark green, and contrasts well with the yellow 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 a generous quantity of yellow/orange pollen. The plant grows well in pots, and possesses no particular susceptibility to insects and diseases.
