Abstract

A new and distinct Argyranthemum plant named ‘Balargluite’, characterized by its white ray florets, yellow disc florets, medium green foliage and upright growth habit.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species of plant claimed: Argyranthemum frutescens.
Variety denomination: ‘Balargluite’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct Argyranthemum plant, botanically known as Argyranthemum frutescens, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Balargluite’.
The new cultivar originated from a controlled breeding program with the objectives of developing Argytanthemem plants that are freely branching, freely flowering and have a compact, upright growth habit.
The new cultivar is the result of open pollination, with the female parent being a proprietary breeding selection designated NC2306, characterized by white flowers with yellow centers. The new cultivar was discovered by the inventor during February 2000, in a controlled environment at Arroyo Grande, Calif.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar has been carried out at Arroyo Grande, Calif. and West Chicago, Ill. by terminal tip cuttings and 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 white ray florets with light yellow disc florets,
(b) forms medium green foliage,
(c) a good basal branching character, and
(d) exhibits a compact upright growth habit.
The new cultivar of the present invention can be compared to ‘Sugar Baby’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,298). In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new cultivar have larger leaves and larger flowers with fewer ray florets.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PHOTOGRAPH
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. Colors are as accurately represented as can be made by conventional photography. The plants were grown in 10 m cm pots for 10 weeks in a greenhouse at West Chicago, Ill.
FIG. 1 illustrates the overall growth habit of the new cultivar with one plant per pot.
FIG. 2 illustrates a close-up of individual flowers of the new cultivar.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The new cutivar 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 Apr. 17, 2002. The readings were taken between 1:00 and 3:00 p.m. under natural daylight conditions. The plants were produced from cuttings taken from stock plants and were grown in a double polycarbonate covered greenhouse under conditions comparable to those used in commercial practice. The plants were grown utilizing a soilless growth medium and maintaining temperatures of approximately 65° to 78° F. (18° to 25° C.) during the day and approximately 50° to 60° F. (10° to 15° C.) during the night and light levels of 6,000 to 9,000 footcandles. Plants used for the following descriptions and measurements were grown in 10 cm pots for 10 weeks from rooted cuttings.
