Abstract
A distinct cultivar of Petunia plant named `Michel`, characterized by its bright red flowers; floriferous with numerous flowers per plant; early flowering; vigorous growth habit and moderate growth rate; spreading plant habit and freely branching; strong, healthy foliage; and moderate tolerance 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 Michel.
The new cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the inventor in Scharrachbergheim, France. The objective of the breeding program was to create new Petunia cultivars having desirable flower colors, small leaves, and strong healthy foliage and plants.
The new cultivar originated from a cross made by the inventor of the inventor's proprietary Petunia selection No. 94H, as the male or pollen parent, with the Petunia cultivar Surfinia Shihi Purple (not patented), as the female or seed parent, in June, 1993.
The cultivar Michel was discovered and selected by the inventor in November, 1993, as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Scharrachbergheim, France. Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken at Scharrachbergheim, France, has shown that the unique features of this new Petunia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The cultivar Michel 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 Scharrachbergheim, France, under commercial production conditions.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of `Michel`. These characteristics in combination distinguish `Michel` as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Bright red flowers that are slightly serrated.
2. Floriferous with numerous flowers per plant.
3. Early flowering.
4. Vigorous growth habit and moderate growth rate.
5. Spreading plant habit and very freely branching.
6. Strong, healthy foliage.
7. Moderately 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 top perspective view of a typical hanging basket plant of the cultivar Michel.
The second photograph comprises a close-up view of individual flowers of the cultivar Michel. Flower and foliage colors in the photographs 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. Plants used for the description were grown in glass-covered greenhouses during the summer in Scharrachbergheim, France. Measurements are averages or ranges from ten specimens selected at random from five plants.
