Abstract

A new Verbena plant particularly distinguished by its large cherry-red flower, early flowering, and a vigorous spreading plant habit.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention comprises a new distinct cultivar of Verbena, botanically known as Verbena×hybrida. The new cultivar is propagated from cuttings resulting from the cross of W801 and V514. W801 is a Deep Red flowering Verbena having a spreading habit. W801 is not commercially available and is not known by any synonyms. V514 is a Scarlet flowering Verbena having a semi-erect habit. V514 is not commercially available and is not known by any synonyms. Neither W801 or V514 has been patented. As a result of this cross the present cultivar was created in 1995 in Enkhuizen, Netherlands and has been repeatedly asexually reproduced by cuttings in Enkhuizen, Netherlands and Sarrians, France over a two year period. It has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive propagations, and this novelty appears to be firmly fixed.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW CULTIVAR
The following detailed descriptions set forth the distinctive characteristics of this new Verbena. The data which defines these characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried out in Enkhuizen, Netherlands. The plant history was taken on plants that were 18 weeks old, blossomed under natural light in a greenhouse. Color readings were taken in the greenhouse under ambient light. Color references are primarily to the R.H.S. Color Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
This new Verbena plant is illustrated by the accompanying photographic drawings which show blooms, buds and foliage of the plant in full color, the color shown being as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures.
FIG. 1 depicts the spreading and hanging habit of the mature plant, while FIG. 2 provides a more detailed depicition of the blooms and foliage.
