A Spray Chrysanthemum Cultivar, ‘Dream Prince’ with Single Type Yellow Color Petals and Early Flowering Trait

A cultivar Dendranthema grandiflourm ‘Dream Prince’ was developed at Gyeonggi-do Agricultural Research ＆ Extension Services, Korea in 2012. The cultivar ‘Dream Prince’ was bred from the cross hybridized in 2009 between ‘Grand Pink’, a spray chrysanthemum cultivar with pink colored single type petals, and ‘Classy’, a spray chrysanthemum cultivar with early flowering trait. Trials were conducted from 2010 to 2012 for evaluation and selection of the cultivar, including a shading culture in spring and a retarding culture in summer. Finally, ‘Dream Prince’ was selected. The natural flowering time of ‘Dream Prince’ was October 24th, and year-round flowering is possible. Days to flowering of ‘Dream Prince’ under the short day treatment were about 48, 50 and 47 in the autumn, spring and summer, respectively. ‘Dream Prince’ has single type flower with yellow petals and the diameter of flower was 6.7cm. Number of flowers per stem was 19.6 and petals per flower were 29.0 in autumn. The plant variety protection right of ‘Dream Prince’ was granted on Korea Seed & Variety Service with No. 4876 in 2014.
