Description

BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Dianella ensifolia known by the varietal name ‘SOUGOLD’ (Darwin Plant Wholesalers, plant breeder's identification number DIA 1) The new variety was discovered in a selective breeding program by Darryl J. South at Darwin, Australia, 13 Alphatonia Road, Lambell's Lagoon, Northern Territory. The new variety is a selection from the crossing of a “Green” form (unpatented) of dianella having no variegated striping and a “Variegated” form (unpatented) of dianella having green/white variegated material with further selection and vegetative propagation isolating green/gold variegated material. The selection criteria being gold and green variegated leaves.
The new variety is the result of a selective breeding program taken from off types noted in the Nursery at Lambell's Lagoon in July 1986. These off types were selected and propagated vegetatively, with further selections being made over four (4) generations selecting for differences in variation and green/gold leaf colors.
The new cultivar was first asexually reproduced by divisions at Darwin Plant Wholesalers located at Winnellie, in Northern Territory, Australia, P.O. Box 39196, Winnellie, Northern Territory 0821 and has been repeatedly asexually reproduced by divisions at Darwin Plant Wholesalers. Continued observations from the vegetative divisions have confirmed that the distinguishing features of this new cultivar came true, remain stable and are retained through successive propagation.
The new cultivar was grown outdoors under light shade cloth (approximately 50%), propagated from rhizomes with leaves, planted into 150 mm pots filled with regular standard potting mix, and nutrition maintained with slow release fertilizer. Pest and disease treatments were applied as required. Low pressure overhead irrigation was used. The plant exhibited 6 month response time from the rooted cutting to a flowering plant.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
The accompanying drawing illustrates the new cultivar, the color being as nearly true as possible with color illustrations of this type.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW PLANT
The following detailed description sets forth characteristics of the new cultivar. The data which defines each characteristic was collected from asexual reproductions grown outdoors at Winnellie, in Northern Territory, Australia between October 1999 and February 2000. The plant histories were taken on rooted divisions believed to have been potted in a 150 cm pot on approximately October 1999 and flowering on approximately March 2000, outdoors and color readings were taken in daylight using The Royal Horticultural Society of London Colour Chart, 1986 Edition.
