In order to contribute to increased income for Chrysanthemum indicum L. farmers, a hemispherical and high-yielding new cultivar was selected and cultivated. The name of the new cultivar is 'Yehyang', which means Chrysanthemum indicum L. with an artistic fragrance and appearance. Test field soil was prepared according to standard cultivation methods, and rooted cuttings were planted at a 50cm distance and cultivated. Characterization was conducted according to the agricultural science technology and research analysis standards of the Rural Development Administration, with leaf and flower colors determined using the RHS color chart. Survey results showed a plant height of 36.1 cm, plant width of 84.8 cm, leaf length of 5.0 cm, leaf width of 3.0 cm, and flowering time was October 5th. It was estimated that 1,094 kg of fresh flowers could be harvested if Chrysanthemum indicum L. was planted at 900 plants per 10a. After the cultivar was registered, it has been used for various purposes such as medicinal, food, ornamental, and nectar sources, and is being actively distributed in the Gyeongnam region to help generate income for farm households.
