Abstract

A distinct cultivar of Monarda plant named ‘Pink Supreme’, characterized by its upright, outwardly spreading and relatively short plant habit; freely flowering habit; and dark pink-colored flowers arranged in dense verticillasters.

Description

Botanical classification/cultivar designation: Monarda didyma L. cultivar Pink Supreme.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Monarda plant, botanically known as Monarda didyma L., and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Pink Supreme.
The new Monarda originated from a chance cross-pollination of two unidentified selections of Monarda didyma L., not patented. The new Monarda was discovered by the Inventor in 1995 in Rijpwetering, The Netherlands. Plants of the new Monarda differed primarily from plants of the unidentified parental selections in plant size and flower color.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by cuttings in Rijpwetering, The Netherlands since 1995, has shown that the unique features of this new Monarda are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the cultivar Pink Supreme have not been observed under all possible environmental and cultural conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature and light intensity without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Pink Supreme’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Pink Supreme’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Upright, outwardly spreading and relatively short plant habit.
2. Freely flowering habit.
3. Dark pink-colored flowers arranged in dense verticillasters.
Plants of the new Monarda can be compared to plants of the Monarda cultivar Twins, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Rijpwetering, The Netherlands, plants of the new Monarda differed from of the cultivar Twins in the following characteristics:
1 . Plants of the new Monarda were shorter than plants of the cultivar Twins.
2. Plants of the new Monarda and the cultivar Twins differed in flower color.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new Monarda, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photograph may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Monarda. The photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Pink Supreme’ grown in a container.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
