Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Lysimachia plant named ‘Jumbo’, characterized by its tall and erect flowering stems; dark green-colored leaves; large curving flowering racemes; large white-colored flowers; and good postproduction longevity.

Description

Botanical classification/cultivar designation: Lysimachia fortunei×Lysimachia clethroides cultivar Jumbo.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Lysimachia plant, botanically known as Lysimachia fortunei×Lysimachia clethroides, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Jumbo’.
The new Lysimachia is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Oude Wetering, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program was to develop new cut Lysimachia cultivars with large flowers with attractive foliage and flower coloration and good postproduction longevity.
The new Lysimachia originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in 1999 in Oude Wetering, The Netherlands of an unidentified selection of Lysimachia fortunei, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent and an unidentified selection of Lysimachia clethroides, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Lysimachia was discovered and selected by the Inventor in 2000 as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Oude Wetering, The Netherlands. The selection of this new Lysimachia was based on its large flowers and attractive foliage and flower coloration.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by cuttings taken in a controlled environment in Oude Wetering, The Netherlands since 2001, has shown that the unique features of this new Lysimachia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual propagation.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the cultivar Jumbo 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 ‘Jumbo’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Jumbo’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Tall and erect flowering stems.
2. Dark green-colored leaves.
3. Large curving flowering racemes with large white-colored flowers.
4. Good postproduction longevity.
Plants of the new Lysimachia are most similar to plants of the parent selections. Plants of the new Lysimachia differ primarily from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Lysimachia have larger racemes than plants of the female parent selection.
2. Plants of the new Lysimachia have larger flowers than plants of the female parent selection.
Plants of the new Lysimachia differ primarily from plants of the male parent selection in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Lysimachia have darker green-colored leaves than plants of the male parent selection.
2. Plants of the new Lysimachia have larger racemes than plants of the male parent selection.
3. Plants of the new Lysimachia have larger flowers than plants of the male parent selection.
4. Plants of the new Lysimachia flower in June in The Netherlands whereas plants of the male parent selection flower in July in The Netherlands.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Lysimachia, 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 Lysimachia.
The photograph on the first sheet is a view of a field of typical flowering plants of ‘Jumbo’.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical flowering raceme and leaves of ‘Jumbo’.
DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photographs, following observations, measurements and values describe plants of the new Lysimachia grown in Aalsmeer, The Netherlands in an outdoor cultivated field during the summer.

Color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
