Abstract
A new and distinct Lobelia plant named "Periwinkle Blue' is provided. This new cultivar was the result of a unique interspecific cross between Lobelia erinus and Lobelia valida. More specifically, the female or seed parent of "Periwinkle Blue' was the Lobelia erinus Palace Series Blue With Eye and the male or pollen parent was an unnamed Lobelia valida plant.
Description
The present invention comprises a new and distinctive Lobelia plant, hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Periwinkle Blue. This new cultivar was the result of a unique interspecific cross between Lobelia erinus and Lobelia valida. 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 Periwinkle Blue was the Lobelia erinus plant from the Palace Series named ‘Blue With Eye’ (unpatented) which exhibits dark purple-blue flowers with white centers or “eyes” and has a semi-trailing habit. The male or pollen parent of Periwinkle Blue was an unnamed Lobelia valida plant which exhibits lavender-blue flowers and an upright habit. The resulting seed was collected and germinated. From the flowering progeny, a single plant was selected and initially designated BPF-100, and now given the cultivar name ‘Periwinkle Blue’. The parentage of the new cultivar can be summarized as follows:
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal 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 initial upright growth followed by a semi-trailing habit,
(b) forms sky-blue flowers with white “eyes”,
(c) exhibits a vigorous growth habit,
(d) is extremely floriferous.
The ‘Periwinkle Blue’ 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 Lobelia plant ‘Azuro’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,758) it is found that the new cultivar exhibits a more vigorous, trailing growth habit and lighter blue flower color.
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, Ill., 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. 13, 2000 in West Chicago, Ill. The readings were taken between 1:00 and 1:45 p.m. 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. The plants used for the following descriptions and measurements were grown for 9 weeks after the planting of rooted cuttings.
