Dendranthema x grandiflorum ‘Pale Pink’
A cultivar of Dendranthema x grandiflorum Kitam. Ranunculus flowered chrysanthemum. ‘Raised in Mr. Colville’s nursery, being a sportive branch from the Rose. This and the 3 preceding [in the Ranunculus flowered group] doubtless sport mutually into each other (Rose or Pink, Buff or Copper), and are perpetuated by cuttings; but all are liable to sport again, from pale pink to deeper pink, and copper or light orange to bright yellow. Neat and regular plant.’ [FC p.73/1833].
