Abstract

A new Sutera plant particularly distinguished by its large, lavender, round flower, early flowering, thick stems and large leaves, and a spreading, trailing habit.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed: Sutera diffusa.
Varietal denomination: ‘Sutharis’.
BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention comprises a new distinct cultivar of Sutera, botanically known as Sutera diffusa. The new cultivar is propagated from cuttings resulting from the cross of ‘B21’ and ‘B23’. ‘B21’ is a lavenderblue flowering Sutera having a spreading, trailing habit. ‘B21’ is not commercially available and is not known by any synonyms. ‘B23’ is a white flowering Sutera having a larger than normal flower. ‘B23’ is not commercially available and is not known by any synonyms. Neither ‘B21’ or ‘B23’ has been patented. As a result of this cross the present cultivar was created in 2000 in Enkhuizen, Netherlands and has been repeatedly asexually reproduced by cuttings in Enkhuizen, Netherlands and Sarrians, France over a three year period. It has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive propagations, and this novelty appears to be firmly fixed.
This new Sutera plant is an annual in most climatical zones in the US, only in zones 9 and 10 it is a perennial plant.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
This new Sutera is illustrated by the accompanying photographic drawing which shows blooms, buds and foliage of the plant in full color, the color shown being as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures.
DATA COLLECTION
The following detailed description set forth the distinctive characteristics of this new Sutera. The data which defines these characteristics were collected from asexual reproduction carried out in Enkhuizen, Netherlands. The plant history was taken on 15 weeks old plants, blossomed under natural light in a greenhouse. Color readings were taken in the greenhouse under ambient light. Color references are primarily to The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the cultivar ‘Sutharis’ have not been observed under all possible environmental concitions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity and daylength without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Sutharis’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Sutharis’ as a new and distinct variety:
1. Large, lavender, round flowers.
2. Early flowering.
3. Thick stems and large leaves.
4. Spreading, trailing habit.
Plants of the new Sutera differ from plants of the parent selections in flowercolor as plants of the female parent ‘B21’ are much darker in color and plants of the male parent ‘B23’ are white in color. Also the female parent has thin stems and smaller leaves and the male parent is much later to flower.
Plants of the new Sutera can be compared to plants of the Sutera variety ‘Lavender Showers’, disclosed in the abandoned, U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 09/450,098. In side by side comparisons conducted in Enkhuizen, The Netherlands, plants of the new Sutera differed from plants of the variety ‘Lavender Showers’ primarily in size of the flowers and in thickness of the stems, as plants of ‘Sutharis’ have larger flowers and thicker stems.
