The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum, botanically known as Dendranthema grandiflora, and referred to by the cultivar name Copper Charm.
Copper Charm, identified as 6954 (92-#02149) is a spontaneous mutation of the cultivar Dark Bronze Charm, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,801, and was selected to expand the color range of the parental variety.
Copper Charm was discovered and selected by inventor Robert W. Zeliff as one flowering plant within a flowering block of Dark Bronze Charm in August of 1992 in a controlled environment in Cortez, Fla.
The accompanying photographic drawing is a side view of a potted mum of Copper Charm, with 4 cuttings in a 15 cm pot, with the colors being as nearly true as possible with illustrations of this type.
Of the commercial cultivars known to the inventor, the most similar in comparison to Copper Charm is the parent cultivar Dark Bronze Charm. All traits of Copper Charm are similar to those of Dark Bronze Charm, except for the ray floret color. The ray floret color of Copper Charm is significantly darker (RHS 169B to 171B) than the ray floret color of Dark Bronze Charm (RHS 167B to 168C).
In the following description color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart. The color values were determined on plant material grown as a pinched disbudded pot mum in Salinas, Calif. on May 22, 1995.
