Abstract

A distinct cultivar of Delphinium plant named ‘Coral Sunset’, characterized by its upright plant habit; freely flowering habit; and double light red-colored flowers.

Description

Botanical classification/cultivar designation: Delphinium elatum cultivar Coral Sunset.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Delphinium plant, botanically known as Delphinium elatum, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Coral Sunset’.
The new Delphinium was discovered by the Inventor in 1999 in a controlled environment in Noordwijkerhout, The Netherlands, as a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of the Delphinium elatum cultivar Princess Caroline, not patented. The new Delphinium was selected by the Inventor on the basis of its unique light red-colored flowers.
Asexual reproduction of the new Delphinium by cuttings in a controlled environment in Noordwijkerhout, The Netherlands, since 2000, has shown that the unique features of this new Delphinium are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the cultivar Coral Sunset have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature and light intensity without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Coral Sunset’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Coral Sunset’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Upright plant habit.
2. Freely flowering habit.
3. Double light red-colored flowers.
Plants of the cultivar Coral Sunset differ from the parent cultivar, Princess Caroline and other Delphinium cultivars known to the Inventor in its unique flower coloration. In addition, compared to plants of the cultivar Princess Caroline, plants of the new Delphinium are shorter than plants of the cultivar Princess Caroline.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Delphinium, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Delphinium.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Coral Sunset’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the top of the second sheet is a close-up view of typical flowers of ‘Coral Sunset’.
The photograph at the bottom of the second sheet is a close-up view of the upper surface of a typical leaf of ‘Coral Sunset’.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2001 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. Plants used for the photographs and the following description were about one year old and grown under outdoor field conditions which closely approximate commercial production conditions in Hillegom, The Netherlands. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 15 to 27° C. and night temperatures ranged from 7 to 14° C. The photographs and description were taken in September, 2002.
