Abstract

A new and distinct Calendula plant having a compact habit, large flowers and dark colored leaves.

Description

Botanical classification: Calendula maritima.
Varietal denomination: ‘Sumden 01’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Calendula plant known by the varietal name ‘Sumden 01’. The new variety was discovered in March, 2001 in a selected breeding program Lüdinghausen, Germany. The purpose of the breeding program was to discover a compact Calendula variety having large flowers. The new variety originated as a single cultivar from a planned cross between Calendula No. 6 (female parent, unpatented) and Calendula No. 5 (male parent, unpatented). The new variety blooms exhibits similar flower color to both parents, however, ‘Sumden 01’, is more compact, has a larger flower size, and darker leaves than both parents. In comparison to a wildtype Calendula, the new variety is more compact with shorter and darker colored leaves. The new variety is similar to the wildtype in that its growing habit starts as semi-erect and changes to hanging with age, the new variety exhibits smooth leaves, and ‘Sumden 01’ has a similar fragrance to the wildtype. The new variety was first asexually reproduced in July of 2001 by cuttings in a glasshouse in Lüdinghausen, Germany. The new variety has been trial and field tested in Germany and has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics and remains true to type through successive propagations.
The following traits distinguish ‘Sumden 01’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Compact growth habit.
2. Short internode length (˜20 mm).
3. Short leaves.
4. Dark colored leaves.
5. Large flower size compared to the wildtype.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The accompanying photographic drawings illustrates the new variety, with the color being as nearly true as is possible with color illustrations of this type:
FIG. 1 illustrates the new variety in the center of the photographic illustration; and
FIG. 2 is a close-up view of the new variety.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PLANT
The data which defines these characteristics were collected by asexual reproductions by cuttings carried out in Lüdinghausen, Germany. Plants described were about 3 months old. Plants were grown at temperatures of 14° Celsius in 10.5 cm pots. The new variety prefers 1.5 Kg of fertilizer per cubic meter of soil having a pH of approximately 5.5. The color readings were taken under approximately 4000-7000 foot candles of artificial light. Color references are primarily to The 2001 R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London.
