Abstract

A verbena cultivar particularly distinguished by red colored flowers, vigorous growth and trailing habit.

Description

GENUS AND SPECIES
Verbena hybrida.
VARIETY DENOMINATION
‘Esca Red’.
BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of verbena, botanically known as Verbena hybrida, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Lan Esca Red’. The new cultivar is asexually reproduced from vegetative cuttings and tissue culture resulting from the cross of the seed/pod parent 98-520-1, an unnamed and unpatented deep pink proprietary line and the pollen parent ‘Temari Red’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,311), a commercial line.
‘Esca Red’ is a product of a planned breeding program intended to create new verbena cultivars with red colored flowers, dark green foliage, vigorous growth and trailing habit.
The new cultivar was created in 1999 in Gilroy, Calif. and has been asexually reproduced repeatedly by vegetative cuttings and tissue culture in Gilroy, Calif. over a two year period. It has also been trialed at Gilroy, Calif.; Alberta, Canada, Litchfield, Mich. and Andijk, The Netherlands. The present invention has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive propagations; and this novelty is firmly fixed.
DESCRIPTION OF PHOTOGRAPH
This new verbena plant is illustrated by the accompanying photograph which shows blooms, buds, and foliage of the plant in full color, the colors shown being as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures.
The drawing shows overall plant habit and the mature inflorescence.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW CULTIVAR
The following detailed descriptions set forth the distinctive characteristics of ‘Esca Red’. The data which defines these characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried out in Alberta Canada. The plant history was taken on 11 week old plants grown in 4 inch pots, blossomed under natural light in a greenhouse and color readings were taken in the greenhouse in Alberta Canada. Color references are primarily to The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London (R.H.S.).

COMPARISON WITH PARENTAL CULTIVARS
When the instant plant is compared to male parent ‘Temari Bright Red’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,311) the ‘Esca Red’ leaves are shorter and narrower than that of ‘Temari Bright Red’. The flower diameter of ‘Esca Red’ smaller than ‘Temari Bright Red’. The flower color on the upper side of ‘Temari Bright Red’ is a little brighter than ‘Esca Red’. Additionally, ‘Esca Red’ has no petal markings like ‘Temari Bright Red’ does.
When ‘Esca Red’ is compared to female parent 98-520-1, ‘Esca Red’ has a red flower and 98-520-1 has a deep pink flower. ‘Esca Red’ is a larger more vigorous plant than 98-520-1 and ‘Esca Red’ is earlier to flower than 98-520-1.
