Patent Grant
PP35401
Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed: Chrysanthemum x morifolium.
Varietal denomination: ‘CIDZ0116’.
The present invention comprises a new Chrysanthemum, botanically known as Chrysanthemum x morifolium, and hereinafter referred to by the variety name ‘CIDZ0116’.
‘CIDZ0116’ is a product of a planned breeding program. The new cultivar has large sized dark lavender-pink double type inflorescences, compact strong and uniform plant habit, and a flowering response time of 7.5 weeks.
‘CIDZ0116’ originated from a hybridization made in October 2017 in a greenhouse in Gilroy, Calif. The female parent was the unpatented, proprietary plant designated as ‘B9512’, having smaller lighter pink decorative inflorescences, shorter less vigorous growth habit and 2-3 days slower flowering response when compared to ‘CIDZ0116’.
The male parent of ‘CIDZ0116’ was the unpatented, proprietary plant designated as ‘C0326’, having white semi-double type inflorescences with abundant pollen production, and more vigorous growth habit than ‘CIDZ0116’.
The seed was sown in July 2018 and the resulting plants were grown out of doors in a field covered by saran cloth in Fort Myers, Fla. ‘CIDZ0116’ was selected as one flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in December 2018.
The first act of asexual reproduction of ‘CIDZ0116’ was accomplished when vegetative cuttings were propagated from the initial selection in March 2019, in Gilroy Calif.
Horticultural examination of plants grown from cuttings of the plant initiated in March 2019 and continuing thereafter, has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for ‘CIDZ0116’ are firmly fixed and are retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.
‘CIDZ0116’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity and day length.
A Plant Breeder's Right for this cultivar was applied for in Canada on Oct. 21, 2022, No. 22-11112. ‘CIDZ0116’ has not been made publicly available prior to the effective filing date of this application, notwithstanding any disclosure that may have been made less than one year prior to the effective filing date of this application by the inventor or another who obtained ‘CIDZ0116’ directly from the inventor.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be basic characteristics of the new variety. The combination of these characteristics distinguishes this Chrysanthemum as a new and distinct variety.
The accompanying photographic drawings show typical flower and foliage characteristics of ‘CIDZ0116’ with colors being as true as possible with an illustration of this type.

The plant descriptions and measurements were taken indoors in Gilroy, Calif. in August 2022 on about 11 week old plants. Unrooted cuttings had been planted, 4 plants per pot, in 6 inch pots in May 2022. The plants were pinched and moved to short days in June 2022 to induce flowering.
