Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant named Funshine is provided. The new cultivar was the result of a controlled breeding program wherein an unnamed plant designated 83.598 was pollinated by the Penny Lane cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,238). More specifically, the new cultivar form attractive relatively small bicolored flowers wherein the petals are white and the disc florets particularly towards the center bear light-red coloration on the distal ends (as illustrated). The inflorescence tends to be pyramidal in configuration. The response period of the flowers is approximately seven and one-half weeks. The new cultivar is particularly suited for use in the production of a cut anemone spray under greenhouse conditions.
