Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Hibiscus plant named ‘Coconut Wind’, characterized by its very glossy, undulate, very dark green leaves; upright, compact, outwardly spreading, uniform, dense and symmetrical plant habit that is appropriate for container production; very freely flowering; numerous white-colored flowers with dark red “eyes”; short peduncles; good resistance to flower bud abscission; relatively resistant to pathogens common to Hibiscus grown under Florida production conditions; 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 Coconut Wind.
The new Hibiscus 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 freely-branching Hibiscus cultivars with uniform and compact plant habit 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 Hibiscus originated from a cross made by the Inventor in Alva, Fla., of a proprietary Hibiscus rosa-sinensis selection, designated as code No. YB-1242, as the female, or seed, parent with the Hibiscus rosa-sinensis cultivar Light Wind, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,593, as the male, or pollen, parent. The cultivar Coconut Wind 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 Sep. 15, 1995.
Compared to plants of the female parent, the proprietary Hibiscus selection code No. YB-1242, plants of the new Hibiscus are more upright; have smaller and darker green foliage; flower about 5 to 7 days earlier; and are less attractive to whiteflies. Plants of new Hibiscus flower about 2 to 3 days later; are less susceptible to diseases common to Hibiscus grown under Florida production conditions; and differ in flower color compared to plants of the male parent, the cultivar Light Wind.
Plants of the new Hibiscus are distinguished from its sibling, the cultivar Golden Wind, U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 09/333,126 submitted concurrently with this application, in flower color.
Asexual reproduction of the new Hibiscus 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 Coconut Wind 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 ‘Coconut Wind’. Theee characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Coconut Wind’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Very glossy, undulate, very dark green leaves.
2. Upright, compact, outwardly spreading, uniform, dense and symmetrical plant habit that is appropriate for container production.
3. Very freely flowering, numerous white-colored flowers with dark red “eyes” and short peduncles.
4. Good resistance to flower bud abscission.
5. Relatively resistant to pathogens common to Hibiscus grown under Florida production conditions.
6. Excellent postproduction longevity.
Plants of the new Hibiscus can be compared to plants of the cultivar White Cloud, not patented. However, in side-by-side comparisons conducted in Alva, Fla., plants of the new Hibiscus differ from plants of the cultivar White Cloud in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Hibiscus are more upright than plants of the cultivar White Cloud.
2. Plants of the new Hibiscus have smaller leaves than plants of the cultivar White Cloud.
3. Flowers of plants of the new Hibiscus are slightly smaller than flowers of plants of the cultivar White Cloud.
4. Plants of the new Hibiscus are less susceptible to diseases common to Hibiscus grown under Florida production conditions than plants of the cultivar White Cloud.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Hibiscus, 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 a typical plant of ‘Coconut Wind’.
The photograph on the second sheet comprises a close-up view of a typical flower of ‘Coconut Wind’. Both photographs were taken when plants were about 7 months old. 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., with five plants per 16.5-cm containers in polyethylene-covered greenhouses, during the late spring under conditions which closely approximate commercial production. Night temperatures ranged between 13 to 24 degrees centigrade. Day temperatures ranged between 21 and 32 degrees centigrade. Plants were about 7 months old when descriptions were taken. In the description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
