Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Carnation plant named ‘Sunflor Triton’, characterized by its very large purple red-colored flowers; upright and mounded plant habit; good basal branching with about 10 lateral branches developing after pinching; rapid growth rate; fragrant flowers, and good postproduction longevity.
Description
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Carnation plant, botanically known as Dianthus caryophyllus and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Sunflor Triton’.
The new Carnation is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program is to develop new compact Carnation cultivars suitable for container production with attractive flower color and early flowering.
The new Carnation originated from a cross made by the Inventor of the Dianthus caryophyllus cultivar ‘Rosso’, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with the Dianthus caryophyllus cultivar ‘D. Japan’, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The cultivar ‘Sunflor Triton’ was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands, in 1991.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken at Aalsmeer, The Netherlands, has shown that the unique features of this new Carnation are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Sunflor Triton’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Sunflor Triton’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Very large purple-red colored flowers.
1. Upright and mounded plant habit.
3. Good basal branching with about 10 lateral branches developing after pinching.
4. Rapid growth rate.
5. Fragrant flowers.
6. Good postproduction longevity.
Plants of the new Carnation are taller and have larger flowers than plants of the female parent, the dark red-flowered cultivar ‘Rosso’. Plants of the new Carnation are more compact, flower earlier and have larger flowers than plants of the male parent, the pink-flowered cultivar ‘D. Japan’.
The new Carnation can be compared to the cultivar ‘Sunflor Surprise’ (U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 09/379,263). However, in side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands, plants of the new Carnation differ from plants of the cultivar ‘Sunflor Surprise’ in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Carnation are larger, grow faster and flower earlier than plants of the cultivar ‘Sunflor Surprise’.
2. Plants of the new Carnation have larger flowers than plants of the cultivar ‘Sunflor Surprise’.
3. Plants of the new Carnation and the cultivar ‘Sunflor Surprise’ differ in flower color.
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates 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. The photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical plants of ‘Sunflor Triton’. Flower and foliage colors in the photograph may appear different from the acutal colors due to light reflectance.
The cultivar ‘Sunflor Triton’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype. The following observations, measurements and comparisons describe plants grown in 9-cm pots in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands, under conditions approximating commercial practice in a glass-covered greenhouse with day and night temperatures averaging about 20 and 14° C., respectively. Plants used for the description and photographs were about 10 weeks old.
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.
