Abstract

A distinctive cultivar of Lantana plant named `Sonrise`, characterized by its erect and outwardly spreading plant habit; pubescent stems and leaves; floriferousness and lack of seed production; flowers that are golden yellow after opening and become various shades of orange to red, hot pink, and eventually purple during development; and tolerance to low temperatures.

Description

The present invention relates to new and distinct cultivar of Lantana plant, botanically known as Lantana camara, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name `Sonrise`.
The new cultivar was discovered by the inventor in Clinton, Miss., as a naturally-occurring mutation of the nonpatented Lantana camara cultivar `Ham and Eggs`, and was observed in a group of plants of the parent cultivar in July, 1996.
Plants of the new Lantana differ from plants of the parent cultivar `Ham and Eggs` in flower color. Flowers of the cultivar `Ham and Eggs` are initially pale yellow after opening and become pale pink during development. However, flowers of the new Lantana are golden yellow after opening and become various shades of orange to red, hot pink, and eventually purple during development.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by cuttings in Clinton, Miss., has shown that the unique features of this new Lantana are stable and reproduced true to type in successive propagations.
The new cultivar has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature and light and fertility levels, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of plants of the new Lantana and differentiate plants of the new Lantana from other comercial Lantana cultivars:
1. Plants of the new Lantana are erect and outwardly spreading in plant habit.
2. Plants of the new Lantana have very pubescent stems and leaves.
3. Plants of the new Lantana are very floriferous and do not produce seed.
4. Flowers of plants of the new Lantana are golden yellow after opening and become various shades of orange to red, hot pink, and eventually purple during development.
5. Plants of the new Lantana are very tolerant to low temperatures and considered to be hardy to zone 8 of the U.S.D.A. Hardiness Zone Map.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance and flower color of the new Lantana, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type.
The photograph on the first sheet of photographs comprises a top perspective view of a typical plant of `Sonrise` planted in a field situation.
The photograph on the second sheet of photographs comprises a top perspective view of a typical containerized plant of `Sonrise`.
The photograph on the third sheet of photographs comprises a close-up view of typical flowers of the cultivar `Sonrise`. Actual flower and foliage colors may differ from flower and foliage colors in the photographs due to light reflectance.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in Clinton, Miss. and Keller, Tex., under conditions which approximate commercial practice. The plants were initially grown in a polyethylene-covered greenhouse and then moved to a full sun to partial shade field situation during the summer. 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.
