Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Campanula named `Mystery`, characterized by its unique pink star-shaped flowers; long flowering period; freely branching habit with lateral shoots potentially forming at every node; dark green leaves; uniform flower display; floriferous with numerous flowers per plant; and excellent postproduction longevity.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Campanula plant, hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name `Mystery`
The new cultivar was discovered and selected by the inventor as a naturally-occurring branch mutation of an unidentified white-flowered cultivar of Campanula medium L. in a cultivated area in Den Hoorn, The Netherlands.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by tissue culture in Roelofarendsveen, The Netherlands, has shown that the unique features of this new Campanula are stable and reproduce true to type in successive propagations.
The new cultivar has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, daylength, light intensity, soil types, and water/fertility levels without, however, any variance in genotype. The following observations, measurements, values, and comparisons describe plants grown in Den Hoorn, The Netherlands, under production conditions which closely approximate those generally used in commercial horticulture.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of the new Campanula. These characteristics in combination distinguish `Mystery` as a new and distinct Campanula:
1. Unique pink star-shaped flowers.
2. Long flowering period.
3. Freely branching habit with lateral shoots potentially forming at every node; plants do not require pinching.
4. Dark green leaves.
5. Uniform flower display.
6. Floriferous with numerous flowers per plant.
7. Excellent postproduction longevity; cut flowers last about 14 days after harvesting.
The new Campanula is distinct from other cultivars of Campanula medium L. known to the inventor in its unique narrow and separated petals giving the flower a star-shaped appearance. Additionally, plants of the new Campanula have been observed to flower longer than other Campanula medium L. cultivars.
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 on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of typical plants of `Mystery` grown as cut flowers in ground beds.
The photograph on the second sheet comprises a close-up view of a flowering stem of a plant grown as a cut flower. Unopened flowers are also apparent in these photographs. Foliage and flower colors may appear different in the photographs than the actual colors due to light reflectance.
The following description of the new cultivar is based on plants produced in Den Hoorn, The Netherlands, under glasshouse production conditions with average day and night temperatures of 20° C. Color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
