Abstract
A distinct cultivar of Sutera plant named ‘Olympic Gold’, characterized by its low-growing and trailing plant habit; very freely branching; densely foliated growth habit; unique yellow and green variegated foliage; white-colored flowers; and long and continuous flowering period.
Description
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Sutera plant, botanically known as Sutera cordata, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Olympic Gold.
The new Sutera was discovered by the Inventor in 1997 in Evesham, Worcester, United Kingdom as a naturally-occurring branch sport of the Sutera cordata cultivar Blizzard, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,966. Plants of the new Sutera have yellow and green variegated leaves whereas plants of the cultivar Blizzard have solid green leaves.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken at Evesham, Worcester, United Kingdom, has shown that the unique features of this new Sutera are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the cultivar Olympic Gold 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 ‘Olympic Gold’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Olympic Gold’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Low-growing and trailing plant habit.
2. Very freely branching; densely foliated.
3. Unique yellow and green variegated foliage.
4. White-colored flowers.
5. Long and continuous flowering period.
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. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which more accurately describe the actual colors of the new Sutera.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of three typical plants of the new Sutera grown in a 20-cm container after four months.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a close-up view of typical leaves and flowers of the new Sutera.
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 grown for about 4 months with three plants per 20-cm container. Plants were grown under 50 percent shade provided by polypropylene shadecloth during the spring and with cultural conditions which closely approximate commercial production conditions in Bonsall, Calif. During the production of these plants, day temperatures ranged from about 13° C. to 35° C. and night temperatures ranged from about 7° C. to 18° C.
