Abstract
A distinctive cultivar of Scaevola plant named ‘Brillant’, characterized by its spreading, cascading and uniformly rounded plant habit; compact growth habit with short internodes; very freely branching plant habit; vigorous growth habit; and numerous blue purple fan-shaped flowers.
Description
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Scaevola plant, botanically known as Scaevola aemula and referred to by the cultivar name Brillant.
The new cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Sudlohn-Oeding, Germany. The new Scaevola originated from a cross of the Scaevola cultivar Fancy, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,867, as the female, or seed, parent with an unidentified selection of Scaevola aemula, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Scaevola was selected by the Inventor in 1998 on the basis of its compact plant habit.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken at Sudlohn-Oeding, Germany, has shown that the unique features of this new Scaevola are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The new cultivar 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 the basic characteristics of ‘Brillant’ which distinguish ‘Brillant’ as a new and distinct cultivar.
1. Spreading, cascading and uniformly rounded plant habit.
2. Compact plants with short internodes, dense and bushy plant form.
3. Very freely branching plant habit.
4. Vigrorous growth habit.
5. Very floriferous with numerous blue purple fan-shaped flowers.
Plants of the new Scaevola are most similar to the female parent, the cultivar Fancy. However in side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in Sudlohn-Oeding, Germany, plants of the new Scaevola and the cultivar Fancy differ in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Scaevola are more compact and have shorter lateral branches than plants of the cultivar Fancy.
2. Plants of the new Scaevola are more freely branching than plants of the cultivar Fancy.
3. Plants of the new Scaevola have shorter internodes than plants of the cultivar Fancy.
4. Plants of the new Scaevola have more flowers per centimeter of lateral stem than plants of the cultivar Fancy.
5. Petal of the new Scaevola are not white at the base whereas petals of the cultivar Fancy are white at the base forming a white band.
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates 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 photograph may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which more accurately describe the actual colors of the new Scaevola. The photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical hanging basket container of ‘Brillant’.
The following observations, measurements and values describe plants of the new Scaevola grown in containers in Sudlohn-Oeding, Germany under conditions which approximate those used in commercial production. Plants used for this description were about 8 weeks old and grown in 12.5-cm container during the spring in a glass-covered greenhouse. Color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
