Cross breeding was conducted to produce new Argyranthemum for cut flowers. A new cultivar 'Fairy Light Pink' was characterized by single flower head with light pink ray florets, flowering time from the early December, and a large number of flower head (and blooms) arranged at the top of the stem. The grower recognized the good growth, a balanced flowering shape on the stem, and good hydration of cut flower. The cut flower quality of 'Fairy Light Pink' was highly evaluated in the main flower market in the Minamiizu region of Shizuoka Prefecture. 'Fairy Light Pink' was successfully registered on February 7, 2004 (The registered number: 12776, http://www.hinsyu.maff.go.jp/).
