Abstract
A distinct cultivar of Agastache plant named ‘Red Fortune’, characterized by its upright plant habit; dark green leaf color; purple red flower color; freely flowering with numerous flowers per spike; and resistance to pathogens common to Agastache mexicana.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Agastache plant, botanically known as Agastache mexicana, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Red Fortune’.
The new Agastache was discovered by the Inventor in Boskoop, The Netherlands, in 1996 in a seed bed of sown Agastache mexicana seed from various crosses of unnamed Agastache seedling selections. The new Agastache was selected as an individual seedling in the progeny of this crossing on the basis of its purple red flower color and large inflorescence size.
Compared to plants of the unnamed selections of Agastache mexicana, plants of the new Agastache are shorter, have a deeper purple red flower color, flower for a longer period of time and are more hardy.
Asexual propagation of the new cultivar by vegetative cuttings taken at Boskoop, The Netherlands, has shown that the unique features of this new Agastache are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the cultivar ‘Red Fortune’ have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity, daylength, and fertility level without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Red Fortune’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Red Fortune’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Upright plant habit.
2. Dark green leaf color.
3. Purple red flower color.
4. Freely flowering with numerous flowers per spike.
5. Resistant to pathogens common to Agastache mexicana.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the 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 top perspective view of a typical plant of the new Agastache in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet comprises a close-up view of typical leaves of the new Agastache. Flower and foliage colors in the photographs may appear different than the actual colors due to light reflectance.
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. Plants used for the description were one-year old plants grown under outdoor production conditions which closely approximate commercial production conditions during the spring and summer in Boskoop, The Netherlands.
