Abstract

A new cultivar of Dianthus plant named ‘Devon Winnie’ that is characterized by compact mounding habit, blue-green foliage and moderately fragrant dark pink flowers. In combination these traits set ‘Devon Winnie’ apart from all other existing varieties of Dianthus known to the inventor.

Description

Genus: Dianthus.
Species: ×hybrida.
Denomination: Devon Winnie.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of carnation that is grown for use as an ornamental container plant. It is known botanically as ‘Devon Winnie’.
‘Devon Winnie’ is a hybrid plant that is the product of a breeding program started by the inventor in 1980. The breeding program is not federally funded and is on going, conducted in a cultivated area of Houndspool, Dawlish, Devon, United Kingdom. The primary focus of the breeding program is to produce new cultivars of carnations that exhibit unique growth habit.
‘Devon Winnie’ is a hybrid plant that was selected in 2000, from a large group of open pollinated seedlings. ‘Devon Winnie’ was selected by the inventor for the distinguishing traits of, prominently early flowering, compact habit, large double flowers, perfume fragrance and bright flower color. The exact parents of ‘Devon Winnie’ are unknown. The female parent plant is presumed to be an unknown cultivar of Dianthus (unpatented). The male parent plant is presumed to be an unknown cultivar of Dianthus (unpatented). The differences between the instant plant and the parent plants, is unknown to the inventor. There is no comparison plant known to the inventor.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar was first accomplished by the inventor in 2000 in a cultivated area of Houndspool, United Kingdom. The method of asexual propagation used was stem cuttings. Since that time the characteristics of the new cultivar have been determined stable and are reproduced true to type in successive generations by vegetative propagation.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and represent the characteristics of the new Dianthus cultivar ‘Devon Winnie’. These traits in combination distinguish this cultivar from all other commercial varieties known to the inventor. ‘Devon Winnie’ has not been tested under all possible conditions and phenotypic differences may be observed with variations in environmental, climatic and cultural conditions, without however any change in genotype.
1. Dianthus ‘Devon Winnie’ exhibits a compact mounding growth habit.
2. Dianthus ‘Devon Winnie’ exhibits large moderately fragrant dark pink flowers.
3. Dianthus ‘Devon Winnie’ exhibits blue-green foliage.
4. Dianthus ‘Devon Winnie’ is 15-20 cm. in height and 10-15 cm in width in a 1.5-liter container.
5. Dianthus ‘Devon Winnie’ is an evergreen perennial herb.
6. Dianthus ‘Devon Winnie’ blooms from March to November.
7. Dianthus ‘Devon Winnie’ is hardy to minus 15° Centigrade
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The accompanying color drawings illustrate the overall appearance of the new Dianthus variety ‘Devon Winnie’ showing colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the drawings may differ from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description, which accurately describe the actual colors of the new variety ‘Devon Winnie’.
The drawing on sheet 1 illustrates the entire plant in flower. This drawing was made of 6-month-old plants grown in 6 inch containers under a roof-vented polythene hoop house in Lompoc, Calif. No chemicals were used to treat the plants.
The drawing on sheet 2 is a close-up view of a typical flower.
The sheet 2 drawing were made of plants grown in a 4″ containers under a cold glasshouse in Houndspool, Devon, United Kingdom. No chemicals were used to treat the plants. All drawings were made using conventional techniques and although colors may appear different from actual colors due to light reflectance they are as accurate as possible by conventional photography.
BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PLANT
The following is a detailed description of the new cultivar ‘Devon Winnie’. Data was collected from plants grown in 1.5-liter containers under a cold glasshouse in Houndspool, United Kingdom. The color determinations are in accordance with the 2002 edition of The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society, London, England, except when general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. No chemicals were used to treat the plants. Growing conditions are typical to other Dianthus.
