Abstract

A new variety of Gaura lindheimeri plant named ‘Colso’ that is characterized by yellow-white marginal leaf variegation with a central leaf color of green and petal color of red to red-purple.

Description

Classification: The present invention relates to a new Gaura lindheimeri plant.
Variety denomination: The new plant has the varietal denomination ‘Colso’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of Gaura having attractive variegated foliage. The new cultivar is known botanically as Gaura lindheimeri and will be referred to hereinafter by the variety name ‘Colso’.
‘Colso’ is a naturally occurring branch mutation discovered in a controlled planting of Gaura lindheimeri ‘Siskiyou Pink’ (unpatented).
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar was first accomplished using softwood cuttings in a propagation nursery at Wonga Park, Victoria, Australia. Since that time, through successive generations, the characteristics of the new variety have been determined stable and reproduced true to type.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The following traits in combination distinguish the ‘Colso’ variety from all other commercial varieties known to the inventor. ‘Colso’ has not been tested under all possible conditions and phenotypic differences may be observed with variations in environmental, climatic and cultural conditions.
1. Gaura lindheimeri ‘Colso’ exhibits marginal leaf variegation.
2. Gaura lindheimeri ‘Colso’ exhibits yellow-white variegation color.
3. Gaura lindheimeri ‘Colso’ exhibits red to red-purple petal color.
COMPARISON WITH PARENT
‘Colso’ is distinguishable from the parent by its variegated foliage.
In comparison, the plant most similar to ‘Colso’ is Gaura lindheimeri ‘Jo Adela’ (unpatented). ‘Colso’ differs from this variety in red to red-purple petal color whereas Gaura lindheimeri ‘Jo Adela’ has white petals. In comparison to the co-pending patent application ‘Benso’ (U.S. plant application Ser. No. 10/160,976) and ‘Crimson Butterflies’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,189), although both have the same parent, neither have variegated foliage like ‘Colso’.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The accompanying illustrations depict plants of the new variety in color as true as possible in color photographic illustrations of this nature.
FIG. 1 shows the plant of the new variety; and
FIG. 2 shows a close up of the flower and variegated foliage of the new variety.
BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PLANT
The following is a description of the new variety ‘Colso’. Data was collected from plants grown in outdoor conditions, 9 months of age, in flower at Wonga Park, Victoria, Australia. The color determinations are in accordance with the 1995 Edition of The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (“R.H.S.C.”), London, England, except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
The plant grows in a spreading habit with medium sparse, vigorous growth, attaining medium height. The growing requirements are similar to other Gaura.
