Abstract
A new and distinct Gardenia plant named ‘Kimberly’ characterized by having dark green glossy leaves, somewhat sinuated leaves, large white flowers, fast growth rate, and good branch production.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species of the claimed plant: Gardenia jasminoides Ellis.
Variety denomination: Kimberly.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Gardenia plant, botanically known as Gardenia jasminoides Ellis, hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Kimberly’.
The new cultivar originated as a mutant in a controlled breeding program in Poeldijk, The Netherlands. The mutant parent is an unnamed plant of Gardenia jasminoides Ellis (unpatented). ‘Kimberly’ was discovered and selected by the inventor, Nicolaas Wilhelmus Jozef Maria Barendse, as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Poeldijk, The Netherlands.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by tissue culture was first performed in Summer 1998 in Alexandria, Egypt, and has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for the new cultivar are firmly fixed and retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction. The new cultivar reproduces true-to-type.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be basic characteristics of ‘Kimberly’ which in combination distinguish this Gardenia as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. dark green glossy leaves;
2. somewhat sinuated leaves;
3. large white flowers;
4. fast growth rate; and
5. good branch production.
‘Kimberly’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype of the new cultivar may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity, and daylength without any change in the genotype of the plant. The following observations, measurements and values describe the new cultivar as grown in Poeldijk, The Netherlands under conditions which closely approximate those generally used in commercial practice.
Of the many commercial cultivars known to the present inventor, the most similar in comparison to ‘Kimberly’ is cultivar jasminoides ‘Ellis’. ‘Kimberly’ has much bigger, darker, glossier and somewhat sinuated leaves. The flowers of ‘Kimberly’ are bigger but the plant produces less buds. ‘Kimberly’ is wider than jasminiodes Ellis, produces more branches and the growing speed is approximately twice as high.
The accompanying photographic drawings illustrate the overall appearance of the new Gardenia showing the colors as true as is reasonably possible with colored reproductions of this type.
FIG. 1 shows a typical 9 month old plant of ‘Kimberly’.
FIG. 2 is a closeup of a flower from ‘Kimberly’.
The following observations, measurements and values describe the new cultivar as grown in Poeldijk, The Netherlands under conditions which closely approximate those generally used in commercial practice. The cultivar is grown in a normal commercial greenhouse. Minimum temperature in summer and winter is 22 degrees Celsius. The Ph should be kept low. Tip cutting is practiced in order to produce more branches. Growth retardant Alar (Daminozide) is added. Lowest temperature tolerancy is 3 degrees Celsius, highest is 40 degrees Celsius. No photoperiodic treatments are conducted. Color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (R.H.S.), edition 2001, except where general colors of ordinary significance are used. Color values were taken under daylight conditions at approximately 1:00 p.m. in Boskoop, The Netherlands. The age of the plant described is 9 months.
