Abstract
A new and distinct Dianthus plant named ‘Romantic Morn’ is provided. This new cultivar was the result of a unique interspecific cross between Dianthus caespitosus and Dianthus barbatus. More specifically, the female or seed parent of ‘Romantic Morn’ was an unnamed Dianthus caespitosus plant and the male or pollen parent was a Dianthus barbatus ‘Wee Willie’ plant.
Description
The present invention comprises a new and distinctive Dianthus plant, hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Romantic Morn’. This new cultivar was the result of a unique interspecific cross between Dianthus caespitosus and Dianthus barbatus. More specifically, the breeding program which resulted in the production of the new cultivar was carried out at Arroyo Grande, Calif. in 1997. The female or seed parent of ‘Romantic Morn’ was an unnamed Dianthu caespitosus plant which exhibits a mounded trailing habit, pale pink to light yellow flowers with non-overlapping petals and medium green linear foliage. The male or pollen parent of ‘Romantic Morn’ was a pool of pollen from Dianthus barbatus ‘Wee Willie’ mix (unpatented) which exhibits medium pink flowers. The resulting seed was collected and germinated. From the flowering progeny, a plant was selected and initially designated BFP-2081. The parentage of the new cultivar can be summarized as follows:
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal or stem cuttings taken during 1998 and 1999 at Arroyo Grande, Calif., U.S.A. has demonstrated that the characteristics of the new cultivar as herein described are firmly fixed and are retained through successive generations of such asexual propagation.
It was found that the cultivar of the present invention:
(a) exhibits a trailing habit,
(b) forms bright pink flowers,
(c) exhibits a vigorous growth habit and
(d) is extremely floriferous.
The ‘Romantic Morn’ cultivar has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions to date. Accordingly, it is possible that the phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in the environment, such as temperature, light intensity, and day length.
When the new cultivar of the present invention is compared to the plant Dianthus deltoides plant ‘Zing Rose’ (unpatented), it is found that the new cultivar exhibits longer internodes, longer, narrower leaves, smaller petals, lighter colored flowers.
The accompanying photographs show as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to make the same in color illustrations of this type, typical flower and foliage characteristics of the new cultivar. The plants were grown in a greenhouse at West Chicago, IL, USA.
The chart used in the identification of colors described herein is The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society, London, England. The color values were determined on Mar. 14, 2000 in West Chicago, Ill. The readings were taken between 1:00 and 1:45 pm. under approximately 2500 footcandles of light. The plants were produced from cuttings taken from stock plants and were grown under greenhouse conditions comparable to those used in commercial practice while utilizing a soilless growth medium and maintaining temperatures of approximately 72° F. during the day and approximately 65° F. during the night. Plants used for the following descriptions and measurements were grown for 16 weeks after planting of rooted cuttings.
