A new and distinct dark pink decorative chrysanthemum intended for five inch or six inch pots and having an almost completely double composite inflorescence with slightly quilled florets that reveal a pale pink under side, the blooms being of medium size and profusely produced to provide a mound of color above an abundant display of foliage. This plant may be ground the year around with a nine-week response, having its best performance from April through December.

I claim:
