Abstract

A new and distinct early flowering Sanvitalia plant with intense yellow-orange colored flowers and vigorous, compact growth.

Description

Varietal denomination: Sanvitalia speciosa.
Classification: ‘Wessastar’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Sanvitalia plant known by the varietal name ‘Wessastar’. The new variety was discovered in 1999 in a selected breeding program in Südlohn, Germany. The new variety is a selection from the cross of proprietary unpatented breeding plants named 98 Sa 17 (female) and 98 Sa 07 (male). The growth character, flower color, and foliage color of the new variety is similar to its parents but with smaller diameter flowers and shorter internodes. The new variety was first asexually reproduced in February 1999 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 ‘Wessastar’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Large flower diameter.
2. Compact growth.
3. Many flowers.
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 picture of the hanging plant; and
FIG. 2 is a close-up of the flower.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PLANT
The following detailed description sets forth characteristics of the new cultivar. The data which defines these characteristics were collected by asexual reproductions via terminal cuttings and tissue culture carried out in Südlohn, Germany. Plants for the description were 20 weeks old, grown in an outside greenhouse at 20-25° C. daytime temperature and 16-18° C. night temperature with long day 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.
‘Wessastar’ compares to ‘Aztekengold’ (unpatented) as follows:
Similarities Differences
Leaf form. Flower diameter of ‘Wessastar’ is bigger.
Leaf color. Sepals of ‘Wessastar’ are bigger.
Flower color. Internodes of ‘Wessastar’ are shorter.
‘Wessastar’ compares to ‘Sunbini’ (unpatented) as follows:
Similarities Differences
Leaf form. Flower diameter of ‘Wessastar’ is bigger.
Leaf color. Flower color of ‘Wessastar’ is more
orange-yellow.
Sepal color. Sepals of ‘Wessastar’ are bigger.
