Chrysanthemum named Wolverine

Abstract

A distinct chrysanthemum cultivar suitable for both year around greenhouse pot culture and for outdoor garden use as a natural season flowering plant, characterized by its single flower form with two or three rows of burnt orange ray florets surrounding a mass of yellow disc florets, the flowers being displayed in an open spray formation on strong stems and, when grown as a pot plant, being surrounded by abundant small to medium sized foliage on a relatively short and compact plant which requires no growth retardants. This plant enjoys a uniform 7-week response when flowered under photoperiod control at any time of the year.
