Chrysanthemum plant named `Charemi`

Abstract

A new and distinct Chrysanthemum cultivar named `Charemi` is provided. The new cultivar was the result of a controlled breeding program. Attractive very large double incurved light pink blossoms of the pompon type are formed generally in the shape of a round ball. The blossoms keep their form for weeks without showing an open center. The response period of the flowers is approximately eight weeks. Recurrent profuse flower production throughout the year is possible. The plant possesses strong stems, forms large deep green leaves, and commonly assumes a height of only approximately 30 to 35 cm. The new cultivar is particularly suited for use in the production of a decorative pot Chrysanthemum and can be grown single-stem, disbudded, or center-budded. No growth regulator is required to achieve the short plant height.

I claim:
