Abstract

A distinct cultivar of potted Aster plant named `Dasthree`, characterized by its compact and uniform habit; freely and uniform flowering; daisy-type inflorescences with dark pink ray florets and yellow disc florets; tolerance to Powdery Mildew; and good post-production longevity.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of potted Aster plant, botanically known as Aster novi-belgii and referred to by the cultivar name Dasthree.
The new Aster is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program was to create new compact potted Asters having desirable floret colors, uniform plant habit, and uniform flowering.
The new Aster originated from a cross made in 1992 by the Inventor of two proprietary Aster seedling selections. The cultivar Dasthree was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands. The new Aster differs from the parent selections in ray floret color and is more compact.
Asexual reproduction of the new Aster by terminal cuttings taken at Aalsmeer, The Netherlands, has shown that the unique features of this new Aster are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of `Dasthree`. These characteristics in combination distinguish `Dasthree` as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Compact and uniform habit, excellent for pot plant culture.
2. Freely and uniform flowering.
3. Daisy-type inflorescences with dark pink ray florets and yellow disc florets.
4. Tolerant to Powdery Mildew.
5. Good post-production longevity.
The cultivar Dasthree has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, daylength and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new Aster, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photograph may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which more accurately describe the actual colors of the new Aster. The photograph comprises a side perspective view of typical flowering plant of the new Aster. Ray floret and leaf colors in this photograph may appear different than the actual ray floret and leaf color due to light reflectance.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
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. The following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands, in a glass-covered greenhouse with average day and night temperatures of 19 and 17° C., respectively. Plants received long day/short night treatments for the first six weeks, then short day/long night treatments for the next six weeks. Plants were pinched (terminal apices removed) two weeks after planting.
Botanical classification: Aster novi-belgii cultivar Dasthree.
Commerical classification: Potted Aster.
Parentage:
Male or pollen parent.--Proprietary Aster novi-belgii seedling selection.
Female or seed parent.--Proprietary Aster novi-belgii seedling selection.
Propagation:
Type.--Terminal tip cuttings.

Rooting habit.--Fine, fibrous and well-branched.
Plant description:
Appearance.--Perennial herbaceous decorative container plant. Compact with flattened to slightly mounded plant plane; stems upright to outward forming an inverted triangle. Appropriate for 12 to 16-cm containers. Usually about 12 weeks are required to produce a flowering plant.

Flowering description:
Appearance.--Daisy inflorescence form. Flattened inflorescences borne on terminals above foliage, arising from leaf axils; inflorescences face upright. Disc and ray florets arranged acropetally on a capitulum.
Flowering response.--Under natural conditions, plants flower in the late summer/autumn. At other times of the year, inflorescence initiation and development can be induced under short day/long night conditions. Response time is about 12 weeks.
Post-production longevity.--Good, inflorescences last about four weeks on the plant. Inflorescences persistent.
Quantity of inflorescences.--Inflorescences form at every leaf axil. Freely flowering, usually about 80 inflorescences per plant.
Inflorescence size.--Diameter: About 3 cm. Depth (height): About 1 cm.
Bud.--Shape: Ovoid. Length: About 1 cm. Diameter: About 5 mm.
Ray florets.--Number of rows of ray florets per inflorescence: Usually two. Shape: Oblong; apex rounded; base attenuate; margin entire. Length: About 2 cm. Width: About 4 mm.
