Abstract

A distinct cultivar of Lantana plant named ‘Robmornpin’, characterized by its outwardly spreading plant habit; rapid growth rate; dark green foliage; freely flowering habit; and yellow, dark pink and red-colored flowers.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Lantana plant, botanically known as Lantana camara, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Robmornpin’.
The new Lantana is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Grain Valley, Mo. The objective of the breeding program is to create freely-flowering Lantanas that do not produce seed. The new Lantana originated from a cross made by the Inventor in 1995 of the Lantana cultivar ‘Patriot Hot Country’, not patented, as the female, or seed parent, with an unidentified proprietary Lantana selection as the male, or pollen parent. The new Lantana was selected as a single plant from the resulting progeny by the Inventor in a controlled environment in Grain Valley, Mo., on the basis of its yellow, dark pink and red-colored flowers.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken in Lompoc, Calif. since September, 1999, has shown that the unique features of this new Lantana are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the cultivar ‘Robmornpin’ have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment and culture such as temperature, light intensity, daylength, water status, and/or fertilizer rate or type without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Robmornpin’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Robmornpin’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Outwardly spreading plant habit.
2. Rapid growth rate.
3. Dark green foliage.
4. Freely flowering habit.
5. Yellow, dark pink and red-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Lantana differ from plants of the parents and other known cultivars of Lantana primarily in flower color.
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 reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Lantana.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical plant of ‘Robmornpin’.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a close-up view of typical inflorescences and leaves of ‘Robmornpin’.
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 grown for 16-weeks in 15-cm containers and pinched once were used for the photographs and following description. Plants were grown in a polycarbonate-covered greenhouse in Lompoc, Calif. during the spring with day temperatures ranging from 18 to 24° C., night temperatures ranging from 16 to 18° C., and light levels ranging from 4,000 to 8,000 foot-candles.
