Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Hibiscus plant named `Tropical Breeze`, characterized by its dark green leaves; upright and outwardly spreading, uniform and symmetrical plant habit that is appropriate for container production; floriferousness with numerous dark pink-colored flowers with dark red throats; good resistance to flower bud abscission; and excellent postproduction longevity.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Hibiscus, botanically known as Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Tropical Breeze.
The new cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the inventor in Alva, Fla. The objective of the breeding program is to create new Hibiscus cultivars having uniform and compact plant habits appropriate for container production, early and uniform flowering, numerous flowers per lateral branch, desirable flower color, resistance to flower bud abscission, and good postproduction longevity.
The new cultivar originated from a cross made by the inventor in Alva, Fla., of the Hibiscus rosa-sinensis cultivar Tangerine (disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,166) as the female, or seed, parent with the Hibiscus rosa-sinensis cultivar Waikiki (disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,834) as the male, or pollen, parent. The cultivar Tropical Breeze was discovered and selected by the inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Alva, Fla., on Jun. 6, 1994.
Compared to plants of the female parent, the cultivar Tangerine, plants of the new Hibiscus are more compact, flower about four days later, have slightly smaller flowers and differ in flower color. Plants of the new Hibiscus are much more compact, have lobed foliage, flower about 10 days earlier, and have a slightly darker flower color than plants of the male parent, the cultivar Waikiki.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken in a controlled environment in Alva, Fla., has shown that the unique features of this new Hibiscus are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The cultivar Tropical Breeze has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity, nutrition and water status without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of `Tropical Breeze`. These characteristics in combination distinguish `Tropical Breeze` as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Dark green leaves.
2. Upright and outwardly spreading, uniform and symmetrical plant habit that is appropriate for container production.
3. Freely flowering, numerous dark pink-colored flowers with dark red throats.
4. Good resistance to flower bud abscission.
5. Excellent postproduction longevity.
Plants of the new Hibiscus can be compared to plants of the nonpatented cultivar Pink Versicolor. However, in side-by-side comparisons conducted in Alva, Fla., plants of the new cultivar differ from plants of the cultivar Pink Versicolor in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Hibiscus are more compact than plants of the cultivar Pink Versicolor.
2. Leaves of plants of the new Hibiscus are more deeply lobed than leaves of plants of the cultivar Pink Versicolor.
3. Plants of the new Hibiscus are more floriferous than plants of the cultivar Pink Versicolor.
4. Plants of the new Hibiscus flower about 4 days earlier than plants of the cultivar Pink Versicolor.
5. Flowers of plants of the new Hibiscus are smaller than flowers of plants of the cultivar Pink Versicolor.
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 photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a top perspective view of typical plant of `Tropical Breeze`.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a close-up view of a typical flower of the `Tropical Breeze`.
Flower and foliage colors in the photographs may appear different from the actual colors due to light reflectance.
The following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in Alva, Fla., and Keller, Tex., in 28-cm containers during the summer and early autumn with day temperatures ranging from 16 to 35° C. and night temperatures ranging from 10 to 24° C. In the description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
