Abstract

The new aster cultivar `Parade` produces medium-sized flower heads with many medium length ray florets which have a distinctive purple color; an involucre that is long and funnel-shaped; and elliptic-shaped leaves that are medium-green in color and do not contain anthocyanin.

Description

The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of aster plant hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name `Parade`.
The new cultivar was originated from a cross made by the inventor in a controlled breeding program in Ter Aar, The Netherlands. The female or seed parent was a selection from proprietary breeding stock designed the "Butterfly family" while the male or pollen parent was a selection from proprietary breeding stock designated the "P" family. `Parade` was discovered and selected by the inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Ter Aar, The Netherlands. Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar, by cuttings, first performed in April 1993 by the inventor in Ter Aar, The Netherlands, and continuing thereafter, has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for the new cultivar are firmly fixed and retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.
`Parade` has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity and day length, without a change in the genotype of the plant. The following observations, measurements and values describe the new cultivar as grown in Bet Dagan, Israel, under conditions which closely approximate those generally used in commercial practice.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be basic characteristics of `Parade` which in combination distinguish this aster as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. `Parade` is of medium height at the time flowering commences.
2. `Parade` produces relatively short elliptic shaped leaves of medium green color that do not contain anthocyanin coloration.
3. The first flower heads produced are located only at the distal parts.
4. The flower head is medium in size with many ray florets.
5. The ray florets are medium in length, narrowly elliptic, and purple in color (R.H.S. 87A) during winter flowering.
6. The involucre is long and funnel-shaped.
7. `Parade` commences flowering very late compared to other asters.
The new cultivar is most similar to `Milka` (U.S. plant patent application Ser. No. 08/664,519) and `Karmijn` (U.S. plant patent application Ser. No. 08/664,520), both of which are described in co-pending applications of the inventor. These cultivars are similar because they each produce many ray florets and have a similar type of flower head. These cultivars differ, however, with respect to flower color, plant height, leaf color and leaf length.
The following Table provides several phenotypic characteristics that can be used to distinguish the aster varieties `Parade`, `Milka` and `Karmijn`.
