Abstract
A distinct cultivar of Aster plant named ‘Karmijn Milka’, characterized by its freely and uniform flowering; decorative inflorescence form with purple ray florets; and good post-production longevity.
Description
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Aster plant, botanically known as Aster novi-belgii and referred to by the cultivar name Karmijn Milka.
The new Aster is a whole plant mutation of the commercial Aster novi-belgii cultivar Milka, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,602. The new Aster was discovered and selected by the Inventor in a controlled environment in Ter Aar, The Netherlands, as a single flowering plant among a population of plants of the parent cultivar Milka in June, 1994. This single plant consistently formed inflorescences having darker purple ray florets compared to the lighter purple ray florets of the cultivar Milka.
Asexual reproduction of the new Aster by terminal cuttings taken at Ter Aar, The Netherlands, has shown that the unique features of this new Aster are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Karmijn Milka’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Karmijn Milka’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Freely and uniform flowering.
2. Decorative inflorescence form with purple ray florets.
3. Good post-production longevity.
Plants of the new Aster can be compared to plants of the sibling cultivar Pink Milka (U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 09/263,152). Plants of the new Aster have narrowly elliptic and purple ray florets whereas plants of the cultivar Pink Milka have narrowly obovate and light pink ray florets.
Plants of the new Aster can also be compared to plants of the sibling cultivar Dark Milka (U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 09/263,154). Plants of the new Aster have lighter purple ray florets than plants of the cultivar Dark Milka.
The cultivar Karmijn Milka 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 accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new Aster, 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 accurately describe the colors of the new Aster. The photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical cut flower stem of the new Aster.
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. The following observations and measurements describe plants grown as cut flowers during the summer in Ter Aar, The Netherlands, in a glass-covered greenhouse with average day temperatures of 17 to 35° C. and night temperatures of 14 to 20° C. Plants received long day/short night treatments, 18 hours light, for seven weeks and then were forced into flower with short day/long night treatments, 12 hours light.
Botanical classification: Aster novi-belgii cultivar Karmijn Milka.
