Abstract
A distinct cultivar of Lavender plant named ‘Bella Pink’, characterized by its upright plant habit; dense and bushy plant form; vigorous growth habit; gray green-colored leaves; and red purple-colored flower corollas with showy light pink-colored terminal flower bracts.
Description
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Lavender plant, botanically known as Lavandula stoechas L., and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Bella Pink’.
The new Lavender is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Kulnura, New South Wales, Australia. The new Lavender originated from a cross made by the Inventor of two unnamed proprietary selections of Lavandula stoechas L., not patented. The new Lavender was selected by the Inventor in 1998 on the basis of its compact and freely flowering habit. Plants of the new Lavender are more compact and more freely flowering than plants of the parental selections.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken at Kulnura, New South Wales, Australia, has shown that the unique features of this new Lavender are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the cultivar Bella Pink have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity, daylength, and fertility level without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Bella Pink’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Bella Pink’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Upright plant habit.
2. Dense and bushy plant form.
3. Vigorous growth habit.
4. Gray green-colored leaves.
5. Red purple-colored flower corollas with showy light pink-colored terminal flower bracts.
Plants of the cultivar Bella Pink can be compared to plants of the Lavendula stoechas L. cultivar Marshwood. However in side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in Kulnura, New South Wales, Australia, plants of the cultivar Bella Pink and the cultivar Marshwood differ in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Lavender have shorter leaves than plants of the cultivar Marshwood.
2. Plants of the new Lavender have gray green-colored leaves whereas plants of the cultivar Marshwood have green-colored leaves.
3. Plants of the new Lavender have small terminal flower bracts than plants of the cultivar Marshwood.
4. Plants of the new Lavender have light pink-colored terminal flower bracts whereas plants of the cultivar Marshwood have light lavender-colored terminal bracts.
5. Plants of the new Lavender have shorter and stronger peduncles than plants of the cultivar Marshwood.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new cultivar, 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 Lavender.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Bella Pink’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet comprises a close-up view of typical flowering spikes of ‘Bella Pink’.
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. Plants were grown under greenhouse conditions which closely approximate commercial production conditions during the spring in Kulnura, New South Wales, Australia. Plants used for this description were grown for about 16 to 24 weeks after planting in 15-cm containers.
