Abstract
A distinct cultivar of Petunia plant named `Sunwine`, characterized by its unique dark red purple flowers; vigorous growth habit and rapid growth rate; decumbent and spreading plant habit; freely branching habit; early flowering; very floriferous with numerous flowers per plant; and tolerant to rain, drought and temperature extremes.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Petunia plant, botanically known as Petunia axillaris, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Sunwine.
The new cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the inventor in Emerald, Victoria, Australia. The objective of the breeding program was to create new Petunia cultivars having large flowers, a spreading plant habit, and desirable flower colors.
The new cultivar originated from a cross made by the inventor of two unidentified proprietary Petunia selections.
The cultivar Sunwine was discovered and selected by the inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Emerald, Victoria, Australia. Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken at Emerald, Victoria, Australia, has shown that the unique features of this new Petunia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The cultivar Sunwine has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype. The following observations, measurements and comparisons describe plants grown in Emerald, Victoria, Australia, under commercial production conditions.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of `Sunwine`. These characteristics in combination distinguish `Sunwine` as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Unique dark red purple flowers.
2. Vigorous growth habit and rapid growth rate.
3. Decumbent and spreading plant habit.
4. Freely branching habit. Plants do not require pinching.
5. Early flowering.
6. Very floriferous with numerous flowers per plant.
7. Tolerant to rain, drought and temperature extremes.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new cultivar, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type.
The first photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical plant of the cultivar Sunwine.
The second photograph comprises a close-up view of individual flowers of the cultivar Sunwine. Flower and foliage colors may appear different than the actual colors due to light reflectance.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. Measurements are averages from ten specimens selected at random from five plants.
