Abstract

A new and distinct Dahlia plant named ‘Balnovost’, characterized by its semi-double lavender and white bicolor ray florets, upright mounded form and moderately vigorous growth habit, is provided.

Description

Latin name of genus and species of plant claimed: Dahlia pinnata.
Variety denomination: ‘Balnovost’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct Dahlia plant, botanically known as Dahlia pinnata and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Balnovost’.
The new cultivar is the product of a planned breeding program. The female (seed) parent of the new cultivar was ‘Figaro White’ (unpatented) which exhibits white flowers. The male (pollen) parent of the new Cultivar was a mix of pollen from the Dahlia pinnata series ‘Figaro Improved’, which exhibits flowers of red, rose, mauve, salmon, yellow or white. The new cultivar was discovered and selected as a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the above stated cross during 1998-1999 in Elburn, Ill. and was initially designated PAS11428-4.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal tip cuttings taken during 2001 at West Chicago, Ill., has demonstrated that the characteristics of the new cultivar as herein described are firmly fixed and reproduced true to type through successive generations of such asexual propagation.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It was found that the cultivar of the present invention:
(a) forms semi-double inflorescences with lavender and white bicolor ray florets;
(b) exhibits an upright mounded form; and
(c) exhibits a moderately vigorous growth habit.
‘Balnovost’ 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 without, however, any variance in genotype.
The new cultivar of the present invention can be compared to ‘Betty’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,762). However, in side-by-side comparisons, ‘Balnovost’ exhibits shorter branches and lighter colored, larger flowers with fewer but larger ray florets.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PHOTOGRAPH
The accompanying photograph shows 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 for nine weeks in a greenhouse at West Chicago, Ill.
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 Nov. 21, 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 in a double polycarbonate covered greenhouse under conditions comparable to those used in commercial practice. The plants were grown while utilizing a soilless growth medium and maintaining temperatures of approximately 65 ° to 70° F. (18° to 21° C.) during the day and approximately 60° to 65° F. (15° to 18° C.) during the night. Light levels of 4,000 to 6,000 footcandles were maintained. Plants were pinched at three weeks after planting. The following measurements and descriptions describe plants grown in West Chicago, Ill. for nine (9) weeks after planting of rooted cuttings.
