Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Nemesia plant named ‘Hubbird’, characterized by its mostly upright and slightly spreading plant habit; compact, very freely branching and bushy growth habit; numerous slender and filamentous branches; and numerous lavender blue-colored flowers.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Nemesia plant, botanically known as Nemesia foetens venten and referred to by the cultivar name Hubbird.
The new Nemesia is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Landscove, Devon, United Kingdom. The objective of the program is to create new compact Nemesia cultivars with bushy growth habit and attractive flower colors.
The new Nemesia originated from a cross by the Inventor of two unidentified selections of Nemesia foetens venten. The cultivar Hubbird was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Landscove, Devon, United Kingdom.
Asexual reproduction of the new Nemesia by terminal cuttings taken in a controlled environment in Landscove, Devon, United Kingdom, has shown that the unique features of this new Nemesia are stable and are reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The new Nemesia 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.
The following characteristics have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be basic characteristics of ‘Hubbird’ and distinguish ‘Hubbird’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Mostly upright and slightly spreading plant habit.
2. Compact, very freely branching and bushy growth habit; numerous slender and filamentous branches.
3. Numerous lavender blue-colored flowers that are about 1.5 cm in length and 1.3 cm in width.
Compared to plants of the parents, the unidentified selections of Nemesia foetens venten, plants of the new Nemesia differ in flower color and are more compact, bushier, less upright, have larger flower heads, and flower longer and more freely.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Nemesia, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a top perspective view of a typical potted plant of ‘Hubbird’.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises close-up views of typical flowers and leaves of ‘Hubbird’. Flower and foliage colors in the photographs may appear different from the actual colors due to light reflectance.
The following observations, measurements, values, and comparisons describe plants grown in Bonsall, Calif., under outdoor full-sun conditions with day temperatures ranging from 18 to 35° C., night temperatures ranging from 13 to 18° C. Plants were grown in one-gallon containers with three plants per container. Color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
Botanical classification: Nemesia foetens venten cultivar Hubbird.
