Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Fuchsia plant named ‘Kiewidiv’, characterized by its numerous red and white bi-colored flowers; upright plant habit; and freely branching growth habit.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Fuchsia plant, botanically known as Fuchsia×hybrida, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Kiewidiv’.
The new Fuchsia is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Venhuizen, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program was to create new Fuchsia cultivars with compact plant habit and numerous attractive flowers.
The new Fuchsia originated from a cross made by the Inventor of two proprietary selections of Fuchsia×hybrida, not patented. The cultivar ‘Kiewidiv’ was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Venhuizen, The Netherlands. Plants of the new Fuchsia differ from plants of the parent selections primarily in flower color.
Asexual reproduction of the new Fuchsia by terminal cuttings taken at Venhuizen, The Netherlands, since 1997 has shown that the unique features of this new Fuchsia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar ‘Kiewidiv’ 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.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Kiewidiv’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Kiewidiv’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Numerous red and white bi-colored flowers.
2. Upright plant habit.
3. Freely branching growth habit.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new Fuchsia, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photograph may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Fuchsia. The photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical potted plant of ‘Kiewidiv’.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
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 used for the description were grown during the spring in Venhuizen, The Netherlands, in a glass-covered greenhouse. During the production of the plants, the following measurements were recorded: day temperatures ranging from 18 to 20° C.; night temperatures ranging from 15 to 18° C.; and light levels about 40,000 lux. Rooted cuttings were planted in 12.5-cm containers and were pinched about 2 to 3 weeks later. The botanical description was taken about 60 to 80 days after planting.
Botanical classification: Fuchsia×hybrida cultivar ‘Kiewidiv’.
Parentage:
Female or seed parent.—Proprietary selection of Fuchsia×hybrida, not patented.
