Chrysanthemum plant--Glasnost cultivar

Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Chrysanthemum plant named Glasnost is provided. The new cultivar was the result of a controlled breeding program. The new cultivar forms attractive single purple anemone flowers with a more intense red-purple cushion. The plant exhibits substantial resistance to leafminers, and the flowers exhibit a good vase life. The response period of the flowers is approximately eight weeks. The new cultivar is particularly suited for use in the production throughout the year of a cut anemone spray under greenhouse conditions.
