Abstract
A new and distinct Gaura plant named ‘Baltinblus’, characterized by its blush pink flowers, upright slightly spreading growth habit, and dark green foliage.
Description
Latin name of genus and species of plant claimed: Gaura lindheimeri.
Variety denomination: ‘Baltinblus’.
The present invention comprises a new and distinct Gaura plant, botanically known as Gaura lindheimeri, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Baltinblus’.
The new cultivar was developed by the inventor in a controlled breeding program during 1999, at Elburn, Ill. The objective of the breeding program was the development of Gaura cultivars with a well-branched, compact habit, continuous flowering and dark green foliage.
The female (seed) parent of ‘Baltinblus’ was the commercially available Gaura variety ‘Siskyou Pink’ (not patented) characterized by its medium pink flowers. The male (pollen) parent of ‘Baltinblus’ was an unnamed white dwarf Japanese Gaura variety which exhibits an upright habit and white flowers. Protection status of the male parent is unknown to the inventor.
‘Baltinblus’ was selected in August 2000 as a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the above stated cross and was initially designated ‘0019-A3’.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar at West Chicago, Ill. was carried out by the use of terminal stem cuttings has demonstrated that the Gaura reproduces true to type with the characteristics as herein described are firmly fixed and retained through successive generations of such asexual propagation.
It was found that the cultivar of the present invention:
(a) exhibits blush pink colored flowers,
(b) forms foliage of a dark green color, and
(c) exhibits an upright and slightly spreading growth habit.
The new cultivar of the present invention can be compared to its female parent, the commercially available Gaura variety, ‘Siskiyou Pink’. In side-by-side comparison, plants of the new cultivar have fewer flowering branches and smaller leaves than plants of ‘Siskiyou Pink’.
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. The plants were grown in 10 cm pots for 13 weeks in a greenhouse at West Chicago, Ill.
FIG. 1 illustrates the typical growth habit and flower color for ‘Baltinblus’.
FIG. 2 illustrates a close up view of individual flowers of ‘Baltinblus’.
The new cultivar 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. 15, 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 for 12 weeks while utilizing a soilless growth medium and maintaining temperatures of approximately 70° to 75° F. (21° to 24° C.) during the day and approximately 55° to 60° F. (13° to 15° C.) during the night and light levels of 5,000 to 9,000 footcandles.
