Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Plectranthus plant named ‘Nicolleta’, characterized by its upright mounded and trailing form, sericeous gray-green foliage and vigorous growth habit.

Description

LATIN NAME OF THE GENUS AND SPECIES OF PLANT CLAIMED
Plectranthus argentatus.
VARIETY DENOMINATION
Nicolleta.
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct Plectranthus plant, hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Nicolleta’. The new cultivar was discovered as a mutation of an unnamed Plectranthus argentatus selection (not patented) in Rheinfelden, Germany in 1998.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal or stem cuttings taken during 2000-2001 at West Chicago Ill. has demonstrated that the characteristics of the new cultivar as herein described are firmly fixed and retained through successive generations of such asexual propagation.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It was found that the cultivar of the present invention:
(a) Exhibits a trailing form;
(b) Forms sericeous gray-green foliage; and
(c) Exhibits a vigorous growth habit.
‘Nicolleta’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions to date. Accordingly, it is possible that the phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in the environment, such as temperature, light intensity, and day length.
When the new cultivar of the present invention is compared to the Plectranthus variety ‘Variegata’ (not patented) the new cultivar is more compact and upright and has solid green foliage color, whereas ‘Variegata’ has green and cream variegated foliage.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying photographs show as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to make the same in color illustrations of this type, typical flower and foliage characteristics of the new cultivar. The plants were grown in a greenhouse at West Chicago, Ill., USA.
The first photograph illustrates the general growth habit of the new cultivar.
The second photograph illustrates a close up of the leaves of the new cultivar.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The chart used in the identification of colors described herein is The R.H.S Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society, London, England. The color values were determined on Jul. 27, 2001 in West Chicago, Ill. The readings were taken between 10:00 and 11:45 p.m. under natural light conditions. The plants were produced from cuttings taken from stock plants and were grown for 12 weeks under greenhouse conditions comparable to those used in commercial practice. A soilless growth medium was utilized and temperatures of approximately 75° to 80° F. (24° to 26° C.) during the day and approximately 58° to 65° F. (14° to 18°C.) during the night and light levels of between 4,000 and 7,000 foot candles were maintained. Plants used for the following descriptions and measurements were grown for twleve (12) weeks from rooted cuttings.
