Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Agastache plant named ‘Pink Perfume’, characterized by its upright, mounded and compact plant habit; freely flowering habit with numerous spikes per plant and numerous flowers per spike; and red purple-colored flowers.
Description
Botanical classification/cultivar designation: Agastache rugosa×Agastache pallidiflora cultivar Pink Perfume.
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Agastache plant, botanically known as Agastache rugosa×Agastache pallidiflora, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Pink Perfume’.
The new Agastache is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Boyl, The Netherlands. The new Agastache was discovered and selected by the Inventor in a seed bed of sown Agastache seed from various cross-pollinations of unnamed Agastache rugosa seedling selections, not patented, with unnamed Agastache pallidiflora seedling selections, not patented, in a controlled environment in Boyl, The Netherlands in 1998. The new Agastache was selected as an individual seedling within the progeny of these various cross-pollinations on the basis of its compact plant habit and red purple-colored flowers.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by vegetative cuttings taken at Boyl, The Netherlands, has shown that the unique features of this new Agastache are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the cultivar Pink Perfume 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 ‘Pink Perfume’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Pink Perfume’ as a new and distinct Agastache cultivar:
1. Upright, mounded and compact plant habit.
2. Freely flowering habit with numerous spikes per plant and numerous flowers per spike.
3. Red purple-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Agastache are most similar to plants of the parent selections. Compared to plants of the parent selections, plants of the new Agastache are more compact, have deeper red purple flower coloration, and flower for a longer period of time.
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 actual colors of the new Agastache.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Pink Perfume’ grown in an outdoor nursery.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet is a close-up view of a typical flowering spike of ‘Pink Perfume’.
Plants shown in the aforementioned photographs and used in the following description were grown under conditions which closely approximate commercial production conditions during the spring and summer in an outdoor nursery in Boyl, The Netherlands. Plants in the photographs and those used for the description were about one year old and in a 17.5 cm. container when the photographs and description were taken. 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.
