?ling of this application. BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT

5

The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be basic characteristics of the new variety. The

The present invention comprises a new Chrysanthemum, botanically known as Chrysanlhemumxmorifolium, and hereinafter referred to by the variety name ‘Sywan Pur’. ‘Sywan Pur’ is a product of a planned breeding program. The new cultivar has bold red-purple in?orescence color, medium green foliage, rounded and mounded plant habit, and

combination of these characteristics distinguishes this Chry sanlhemum as a new and distinct variety. 10

The accompanying photographic drawing shows typical ?ower and foliage characteristics of ‘Sywan Pur’ with colors

a natural ?owering season response that is about early Octo ber. ‘Sywan Pur’ originates as a natural whole plant mutation of ‘Yowanda’, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 20,210. Sywan Pur’ was dis covered and selected by the inventor as a single ?owering plant within a population of the parent cultivar in a controlled

Horticultural examination of plants grown from cuttings of the plant initiated in December 2007, and continuing there after, has demonstrated that the combination of characteris tics as herein disclosed for ‘Sywan Pur’ are ?rmly ?xed and are retained through successive generations of asexual repro duction. ‘Sywan Pur’ has not been observed under all possible envi ronmental conditions. The phenotype may vary signi?cantly with variations in environment such as temperature, light

intensity and day length.
