Abstract

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

Description

BOTANICAL CLASSIFICATION/CULTIVAR DESIGNATION
Fuchsia×hybrida cultivar ‘Shabetty’.
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 ‘Shabetty’.
The new Fuchsia is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Hebrechtingen, Germany. The objective of the breeding program was to create new freely flowering Fuchsia cultivars with compact plant habit and numerous attractive flowers.
The new Fuchsia originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor of a proprietary selection Fuchsia×hybrida identified as code number 137/95, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection Fuchsia×hybrida identified as code number 197/97, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The cultivar Shabetty was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Hebrechtingen, Germany.
Asexual reproduction of the new Fuchsia by terminal cuttings taken at Hebrechtingen, Germany 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 Shabetty has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature and daylength, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Shabetty’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Shabetty’ as a new and distinct Fuchsia cultivar:
1. Upright and cascading plant habit.
2. Freely branching habit; dense and full plant growth habit.
3. Numerous red and white-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Fuchsia flower earlier than plants of the female parent. In addition, sepal color of plants of the new Fuchsia is more intense than sepal color of plants of the female parent. Plants of the new Fuchsia are more freely flowering than plants of the male parent.
Plants of the new Fuchsia can be compared to the cultivar Lucy, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Hebrechtingen, Germany, plants of the new Fuchsia were more vigorous and more upright than plants of the cultivar Lucy.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate 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 photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Fuchsia.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical potted plant of ‘Shabetty’.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet is a close-up view of developing flower buds, fully opened flowers, and upper and lower surfaces of typical fully expanded leaves of ‘Shabetty’.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Bonsall, Calif., under commercial practice during the spring in a polypropylene-covered shadehouse with day temperatures ranging from 13 to 35° C., night temperatures ranging from 13 to 18° C., and light levels about 5,000 foot-candles. Three rooted cuttings were planted per 20-cm container and plants were grown for about 12 weeks. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
