Abstract
A distinct cultivar of Aster plant named Red Monarch, characterized by its moderately vigorous growth rate; freely branching plant habit; small daisy-type inflorescences; red purple ray florets; numerous inflorescences per plant; and good container and garden performance.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Aster plant, botanically known as Aster L. and referred to by the cultivar name Red Monarch.
The new cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the inventor in Ter Aar, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program was to create new Aster cultivars having desirable inflorescence colors and good container and garden performance.
The new cultivar is a spontaneous mutation of the commercial cultivar Purple Monarch, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,387. The new cultivar was discovered and selected by the inventor in a controlled environment in Ter Aar, The Netherlands, as a single flowering plant among a population of plants of the parent cultivar Purple Monarch. This single plant consistently formed inflorescences having red purple ray florets compared to the blue purple-colored ray florets of plants of the cultivar Purple Monarch.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken at Ter Aar, The Netherlands, has shown that the unique features of this new Aster are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of Red Monarch. These characteristics in combination distinguish Red Monarch as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Moderately vigorous growth rate.
2. Freely branching plant habit.
3. Small daisy-type inflorescences.
4. Red purple ray florets.
5. Numerous inflorescences per plant.
6. Good container and garden performance.
The cultivar Red Monarch has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, daylength and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype.
Plants of the new Aster can be compared to the parent cultivar, Purple Monarch. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Ter Aar, The Netherlands, under commercial practice, plants of the new Aster differed from plants of the parent cultivar, Purple Monarch, in ray floret color and height. Plants of the new Aster have red purple-colored ray florets whereas plants of the cultivar Purple Monarch have blue purple-colored ray florets. Plants of the new Aster are taller than plants of the cultivar Purple Monarch.
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 top perspective view of typical inflorescences of the new Aster.
The second photograph comprises a top perspective view of a typical plant of the new Aster (left) and the parent cultivar `Purple Monarch` (right). The ray floret and foliage colors in these photographs vary from the actual ray and foliage 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. The following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Salinas, Calif., and Ter Aar, The Netherlands. Measurements and numerical values represent ranges or averages for four typical flowering plants.
