Abstract

A distinct cultivar of Bidens plant named ‘Golden Star’, characterized by its compact, mostly upright and somewhat outwardly spreading plant habit; freely branching, dense and bushy appearance; early and continuous flowering; large bright yellow inflorescences; and good garden performance.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Bidens plant, botanically known as Bidens ferulifolia (Jacq.) DC and referred to by the cultivar name Golden Star.
The new Bidens is a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of an unnamed selection of Bidens ferulifolia (Jacq.) DC. The new Bidens was discovered by the Inventor in a controlled environment in Angelbachtal, Germany, within a population of the unnamed selection. The selection of this plant was based on its large bright yellow inflorescences and compact plant habit.
Asexual propagation of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings at Angelbachtal, Germany, has shown that the unique features of this new Bidens are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Golden Star’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Golden Star’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Compact, mostly upright and somewhat outwardly spreading plant habit.
2. Freely branching, dense and bushy appearance.
3. Early and continuous flowering.
4. Large bright yellow inflorescences held above the foliage on strong wiry peduncles.
5. Good garden performance.
The cultivar Golden Star 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.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Bidens, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which more accurately describe the actual colors of the new Bidens.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a top perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Golden Star’.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet is a close-up view of a typical plant of ‘Golden Star’.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The following observations, measurements and values describe plants of the new cultivar grown in 15-cm container in Snohomish, Wash., under outdoor nursery conditions which approximate commercial production. Plants used for the description and photographs were about four months old.
Color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
