Abstract

A distinct cultivar of Dracaena plant named ‘Golden Coast’, characterized by its unique golden and dark green-colored variegated foliage with dark green at leaf center surrounded by golden margin; upright and thick leaves; short leaf sheaths; and tolerance to low temperatures.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Dracaena plant, botanically known as Dracaena fragrans, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Golden Coast’.
The new Dracaena is a naturally-occurring mutation of the Dracaena fragrans cultivar ‘Steudneri’ (not patented) with solid green leaves. The new Dracaena was discovered and selected by the Inventor in October, 1987, as an individual plant within a population of plants of the cultivar ‘Steudneri’ grown in a cultivated area in Naaldwijk, The Netherlands. The new Dracaena was selected on the basis of its unique golden leaf margins.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by vegetative cuttings taken at Naaldwijk, The Netherlands, since 1988 has shown that the unique features of this new Dracaena are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the cultivar ‘Golden Coast’ 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 ‘Golden Coast’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Golden Coast’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Unique golden and dark green-colored variegated foliage; dark green at leaf center surrounded by golden margin.
2. Upright and thick leaves.
3. Short leaf sheaths.
4. Tolerant to low temperatures.
In addition to leaf color, plants of the new Dracaena differ from plants of the parent cultivar ‘Steudneri’ in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Dracaena have thicker leaves than plants of the cultivar ‘Steudneri’.
2. Plants of the new Dracaena have shorter leaf sheaths than plants of the cultivar ‘Steudneri’.
3. Leaves of plants of the new Dracaena are more upright than leaves of plants of the cultivar ‘Steudneri’.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
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 reproduction of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the actual colors.
The photograph at the top of the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical plant of the new Dracaena grown in a field planting.
The photograph at the bottom of the first sheet comprises a close-up view of a typical plant of the new Dracaena grown in a field planting.
The photograph on the second sheet comprises a close-up view of the foliage of the new Dracaena.
