Chrysanthemum named Buckeye

Abstract

A new and distinct chrysanthemum cultivar adaptable to both year around greenhouse pot culture and as a natural season flowering garden plant, characterized by its relatively large blooms of single flower form and unique coloring with dark red ray florets and yellow-orange disc florets, the flowers being displayed in a relatively open spray formation. As a pot plant, this cultivar has an excellent performance for spring, summer and fall 4 to 5 inch pot culture with a uniform 7-week flowering response to photoperiodic control, and it has a relatively vigorous plant habit with average stem strength and medium sized foliage.
