Description

BACKGROUND OF THE VARIETY
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of verbena plant obtained from a crossing "Derby Rosa" (♀) and a wild type of verbena plant Verbena peruviana f. rosea. (♂) native to Brazil.
The verbena is a very popular plant and is used for flower bedding and potting in the summer season. There are only a few varieties of the verbena plant which have a spread growth habit, much branching, many number of flowers in a spike and which have a high resistance to rain, heat, cold, and diseases. Accordingly, this invention was aimed at obtaining a new variety having a spread growth habit, strongly branching, many number of flowers in a spike, large diameter flower, high tolerance to heat and cold, and resistances to diseases and pests, and also having a is deep purplish pink color petal.
The new variety of verbena plant according to this invention originated from crossing of "Derby Rosa" (♀) and a wild type of verbena plant Verbena peruviana f. rosea. (♀) native to Brazil. First of all, 15 seedlings were obtained from crossing "Derby Rosa" as female parent and a wild type of verbena plant (Verbena peruviana f. rosea) as pollen parent in the spring of 1989. From this crossing 3 seedlings were selected in view of spread growth habit and propagated by cutting, and then grown as a trial by flower bedding and planter from in the spring of 1990. And then 2 seedlings which were selected from these 3 seedlings were carried out in a trial by flower potting and bedding from in the spring of 1991 and the botanical characteristics of 2 seedlings were then examined, using similar variety "Derby salmon rose" for comparison. Finally only one plant was selected. As a result, it was concluded that this verbena is distinguishable from any other variety, whose existence is known to us, sufficiently uniform and stable in its characteristics, then this new variety of verbena plant was named "Sunvp-Pi".
In the following description, the color-coding is in accordance with The Horticultural Color Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society, London, England (R.H.S. Colour Chart), and the Inter- Society color Council-Nation Bureau of Standard Color Name (I.S.C.C.-N.B.S. Color Name). A color chart based on The Japan Color Standard for Horticultural Plant (J.H.S. Color Chart) is also added for reference.
The "Derby Rosa" used as female parent in the obtaining of this new variety "Sunvp-Pi", is bred by the Bebary Corp., Germany and is on the market. The "Derby Rosa" series includes "Derby salmon rose", "Derby scarlet" and the like. The main botanical characteristics of "Derby Rosa" are as follows.
