Abstract

A new and distinct Sutera plant with large white colored flowers and vigorous growth with long weeping branches.

Description

Botanical classification: Sutera cordata.
Varietal denomination: ‘Wesbawei’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Sutera plant known by the varietal name ‘Wesbawei’. The new variety was discovered in 2000 in a selected breeding program in Südlohn, Germany. The new variety is a selection from the cross of proprietary unpatented breeding plants. The growth character of the new variety is similar to its parents but with bigger flowers. The new variety was first asexually reproduced in December 2000 by cuttings in Südlohn, Germany. The new variety has been trial and field tested at Südlohn and has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics and remain true to type through successive propagations.
The following traits in combination distinguish ‘Wesbawei’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Large buds and flowers.
2. Strong, wiry branches.
3. Large leaves.
4. Broad, rhombic leaves.
5. Crenate to dentate leaf margin.
6. Needle-shaped sepals.
7. Long peduncles.
The new variety has similar colored flowers to the unpatented varieties ‘Snowflake’ and ‘Cabane’. However, ‘Wesbawei’ has longer, thicker, and more weeping branches and longer peduncles compared to ‘Snowflake’ and ‘Cabane’. The leaves of ‘Wesbawei’ are about twice the overall size of those of ‘Snowflake’ and ‘Cabane’ with broader dentation on the margins. The flowers of ‘Wesbawei’ are also larger than the compared varieties in overall size, throat diameter, tube length, and petal length.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The accompanying photographic drawing illustrates the new variety, with the color being as nearly true as is possible with color illustrations of this type.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PLANT
The following detailed description sets forth the characteristics of the new cultivar. The data which defines these characteristics were collected by asexual reproductions carried out in Südlohn, Germany. Plants grown for the description were 20 weeks old, grown in a greenhouse at 20-25° C. daytime temperature and at 16-18° C. night temperature with light levels of 3,000-50,000 lux. The color readings were taken on a plant outdoors and in a greenhouse under natural light. Color references are primarily to The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London.
