Abstract
Portulaca ‘Summer Joy Scarlet’ is a new variety of Portulaca oleracea. This plant has a vigorous, spreading plant growth which produces large, orange-red flowers having a yellow center.
Description
This invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Portulaca plant, hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Summer Joy Scarlet’. Portulaca ‘Summer Joy Scarlet’ is a new variety of Portulaca oleracea. The plant has a vigorous spreading growth habit and can be used as a groundcover. It can also be used in a potted or hanging basket presentation. The invention's flowers are orange-red (RHS 46B) with a yellow (RHS 9A) center. The flowers are single and measure 5.6 to 6.4 centimeters in diameter when fully open. There are five distinct petals with an indent at the tip of each petal. Portulaca flowers will typically close under low light and low temperature conditions such as late in the day and at night. ‘Summer Joy Scarlet’ Portulaca flowers will stay open later into the evening than most other cultivated varieties. The plant performs well in hot and dry climates. The plant is very resistant to rain, heat and drought.
The new cultivar is propagated asexually from vegetative cuttings. The asexual reproduction establishes that the plant does in fact maintain the characteristics described in successive generations. ‘Summer Joy Scarlet’ has been reproduced by stem cuttings in Salinas, Calif., and all of the characteristics thereof have been determined to be firmly fixed.
‘Summer Joy Scarlet’ originated from a hybridization made by the inventor Hiromi Matsukizono in Japan. The female parent is a commercial variety known as ‘Yubi® Scarlet’, an unpatented variety of Portulaca and the male parent was a commercial variety known as ‘Yubi® Rose’, an unpatented variety of Portulaca. The initial cross-pollination of the parents, resulting in F1generation seed, was made in June, 1991. In February, 1992, the F1 seed was sown. From these plants, three plants were selected for appealing flower color. In June through September of 1992 the three selected plant lines were vegetatively propagated and tested for easy reproducibility and stability of traits. One of these three plant lines was hence selected for orange-red flower color, large flower size and easy propagation. In February, 1997, cuttings of this plant line were sent to California. During the spring and summer of 1997 and 1998, plants were grown under the direction and supervision of the inventor for evaluation of the stability of the line's desired traits. Plants were evaluated in greenhouse pots at the research station at Salinas, Calif., and at the breeding station in Kakegawa, Japan. The invention, ‘Summer Joy Scarlet’ Portulaca, was determined by the inventor to have its characteristics, as herein described, firmly fixed.
The accompanying drawings serve by color photographic means to illustrate the new plant variety, ‘Summer Joy Scarlet’. The colors are represented as true as possible using conventional photographic procedures.
FIG. 1 is a close-up view of a ‘Summer Joy Scarlet’ flower illustrating its color and shape.
FIG. 2 is a view of the new cultivar after growing in a greenhouse for 8 to 10 weeks in a six-inch diameter pot.
The following description is based on observations and measurements from 14-16 week old plants grown in six-inch pots at Salinas, Calif. These plants were grown in plastic pots containing a peat moss-based medium. The plants were grown in the greenhouse under full sunlight in Salinas, Calif. Night temperatures ranged from 16° C. to 21° C. and day temperatures ranged from 24° C. to 35° C. The soil was not allowed to stay saturated but the plants were irrigated when the soil began to dry, or every second or third day. Soluble fertilizer was applied through an overhead irrigation system. The fertilizer contained 18% nitrogen, 8% phosphorus and 18% potassium. Every fourth irrigation was done with non-fertilizer water. Color designations were made according to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart published by The Royal Horticultural Society of London, England.

Season of bloom.—In zone 9 and similar locations this plant will flower throughout the entire year. Growth is less vigorous during the cool temperatures and short days of winter, but the plant will continue to bloom.
Hardiness.—Plant is heat tolerant; thrives in heat and humidity; plant is not cold tolerant below 7° C.
Reproductive organs.—One yellow (12A) pistil with five narrow style branches and many yellow (12A) stamen with orange-yellow anthers and yellow filaments; pollen is orange (26A); flowers do not produce seed.
No unusual susceptibility of diseases or insects have been observed.
The new variety is distinguished from other Portulaca plants known to inventor by its flower color, larger flower size and ability to stay open later into the evening. The closest commercial cultivar that we are aware of is the Portulaca plant named ‘Yubi® Scarlet’ (an unpatented variety). The distinguishing characteristics, which differentiate ‘Summer Joy Scarlet’ from ‘Yubi® Scarlet’, are:
| ’Summer Joy Scarlet' | ’Yubi ® Scarlet' | ||
| Flower Diameter | 5.6-6.4 cm | 4.3-4.8 cm |
| Flower Color | Orange-red with yellow | Red-orange |
| center | ||
| Flower Closing Behavior | Open longer in evening | Closes earlier |
| in afternoon | ||
