Abstract
A new and distinct Bracteantha plant named ‘Copper’, characterized by its yellow-orange colored involucral bracts, yellow disc florets, upright mounded growth habit, and dark green leaves.
Description
Bracteantha bracteata.
‘Copper’.
The present invention comprises a new and distinct Bracteantha plant, botanically known as Bracteantha bracteata and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Copper’.
The new cultivar was developed by the inventor in a controlled breeding program at New South Wales, Australia in March, 1998.
The female (seed) parent of ‘Copper’ was the cultivar ‘Nullabor Flame’ (not patented in the United States), characterized by its tall growth habit and numerous red bracts. The male (pollen) parent of ‘Copper’ was the cultivar ‘Diamond Head’ (not patented in the United States), characterized by its semi-prostrate habit and low number of yellow bracts. ‘Copper’ was selected as one of the flowering progeny of the above cross on Aug. 1, 1998.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings, 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.
It was found that the cultivar of the present invention:
(a) exhibits yellow-orange involucral bracts and yellow disc florets;
(b) forms dark green foliage;
(c) exhibits a good basal branching character; and
(d) exhibits an upright mounded growth habit.
When the new cultivar of the present invention is compared to ‘Cream’ (disclosed in U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 09/819,340) it is found that the new cultivar has smaller leaves and smaller flowers of a darker orange color. The new cultivar can also be compared to its sibling, ‘Yellow’ (disclosed in a concurrent patent application). In side-by-side comparisons, the involucral bracts of the new cultivar are more orange than the bracts of ‘Yellow’.
The accompanying photograph 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 photograph illustrates two plants in one pot, grown for 10 weeks in a greenhouse at West Chicago, Ill.
The new cultivar 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.
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 Feb. 6, 2002. The readings were taken between 10:00 and 11:00 a.m. under natural daylight conditions. The plants were produced from cuttings taken from stock plants and grown for 12 weeks in a double polycarbonate covered greenhouse under conditions comparable to those used in commercial practice while utilizing a soilless growth medium. Temperatures of approximately 65° to 75° (18° to 24° C.) during the day and approximately 55° to 60° F. (13° to 16° C.) during the night and light levels of between 5,000 and 8,000 footcandles were maintained.
