Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Petunia plant named ‘Bodtrubur’, characterized by its mounded and trailing plant habit; freely branching habit; and numerous large purple-colored flowers.

Description

Botanical classification: Petunia×hybrida cultivar Bodtrubar.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Petunia plant, botanically known as Petunia×hybrida, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Bodtrubur.
The new Petunia is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Lompoc, Calif. The objective of the breeding program is to create trailing Petunias with numerous large flowers and attractive flower coloration.
The new Petunia originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in September, 1998 of a proprietary Petunia selection identified as 9P5398-1, not patented, as the female, or seed parent, with a proprietary Petunia selection identified as 8P200, not patented, as the male, or pollen parent. The new Petunia was selected as a single plant from the resulting progeny of the cross-pollination by the Inventor in a controlled environment in Lompoc, Calif.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by vegetative cuttings taken in Lompoc, Calif. since June, 2000 has shown that the unique features of this new Petunia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the cultivar Bodtrubur 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 ‘Bodtrubur’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Bodtrubur’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Mounded and trailing plant habit.
2. Freely branching habit.
3. Numerous large purple-colored flowers.
Compared to plants of the female parent, plants of the new Petunia differ in flower color, have a more mounded habit and have larger flowers. Compared to plants of the male parent, plants of the new Petunia differ in flower color, are more vigorous and have a more mounded plant habit.
Plants of the new Petunia can be compared to plants of the cultivar Surfinia Purple, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Lompoc, Calif., plants of the new Petunia differed from plants of the cultivar Surfinia Purple in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Petunia were more mounded than plants of the cultivar Surfinia Purple.
2. Plants of the new Petunia had larger flowers than plants of the cultivar Surfinia Purple.
3. Plants of the new Petunia flowered under short day conditions whereas plants of the cultivar Surfinia Purple did not flower under short day conditions.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new cultivar, 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 Petunia.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Bodtrubur’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a close-up view of typical flower buds, developing flowers, open flowers and the upper and lower surfaces of typical leaves of ‘Bodtrubur’.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Lompoc, Calif., under commercial practice during the summer in a polycarbonate-covered greenhouse with day temperatures about 21 to 27° C., night temperatures about 16 to 18° C. and light levels about 5,000 to 9,000 foot-candles. Plants were grown with one rooted cutting per 15.25-cm container for about 11 weeks. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
