Abstract

A new and distinct Dicentra peregrina×eximia plant with a compact habit and long flowering period.

Description

Botanical classification: Dicentra peregrina×eximia.
Varietal denomination: ‘Candy Hearts’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Dicentra peregrina×eximia known by the varietal name ‘Candy Hearts’. The new variety was discovered in Hokkaido, Japan on May 20, 1990. The first date of asexual reproduction by cuttings was in February of 1991 in Hokkaido, Japan. The new variety is the result of a planned breeding program cross between unpatented, unnamed Dicentra peregrina rubra (female parent) and Dicentra eximia (male parent). The new variety exhibits similar form and foliage to both parents, but has a more improved vigor and a longer flowering period than both parents. The new variety exhibits similar flower color to an unpatented variety of Dicentra eximia, but has more vigor and a different growth habit. The new variety has been trial and field tested and has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics and remain true to type through successive propagations. The following characteristics distinguish ‘Candy Hearts’ from other varieties:
1. Plant size;
2. Improved vigor;
3. High flower count; and
4. Long flowering period.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The accompanying photographic drawings illustrate the new variety, with the color being as nearly true as is possible with color illustrations of this type:
FIG. 1 is a photograph of the plant;
FIG. 2 is a close up view of the blossoms of the new plant;
FIG. 3 is a close up view of the foliage of the new plant.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PLANT
The following detailed description sets forth the characteristics of the new cultivar grown outside in the open ground with no extra fertilizer in The Netherlands. The data which defines these characteristics were collected by asexual reproductions by cuttings. The color readings were taken in The Netherlands in natural daylight. Color references are primarily to The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London.
