Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Verbena plant named ‘Balazgagic’ characterized by its purple-colored flowers, cleft, dark green-colored foliage, basal branching character, and spreading and trailing growth habit.
Description
Latin name of genus and species of plant claimed: Verbena×hybrida.
Variety denomination: ‘Balazgagic’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct Verbena plant botanically known as Verbena×hybrida and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Balazgagic’.
The new cultivar was developed by the inventor through a controlled breeding program during September 2001 at Arroyo Grande, Calif. The objective of the breeding program was the development of Verbena cultivars with attractive flower coloration, continuous flowering and semi-trailing growth habit.
The female (seed) parent of ‘Balazgagic’ was the proprietary Verbena×hybrida cultivar designated ‘1036-2’ (not patented), which exhibits a prostrate, trailing habit, white-colored flowers and dark green foliage. The male (pollen) parent of ‘Balazgagic’ was the commercially available Verbena cultivar ‘Splash Violet’ (not patented), which exhibits an upright habit, white-colored flowers with purple spots and medium green foliage. The new cultivar was discovered and selected by the inventor as a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the above stated cross-pollination during July 2002 at Arroyo Grande, Calif.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar, by terminal stem cuttings since 2002 at West Chicago, Ill. has demonstrated that the new Verbena reproduces true to type, with all the characteristics as herein described, firmly fixed and retained through successive generations of such asexual propagation.
The new cultivar has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions to date. Accordingly, it is possible that the phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in the environment, such as temperature, light intensity, and day length without, however, any change in genotype.
It was repeatedly found that the cultivar of the present invention:
-
- 1. Exhibits purple-colored flowers.
- 2. Forms cleft, dark green-colored foliage,
- 3. Exhibits a good basal branching character, and
- 4. Exhibits a mounded and trailing growth habit.
Plants of the new cultivar differ from plants of the female parent primarily in flower color and from plants of the male parent primarily in growth habit.
The new cultivar of the present invention can be compared to the cultivar Superbena™ Dark Blue (not patented). However, in side-by-side comparisons conducted in West Chicago, Ill., plants of the new cultivar differed from plants of Superbena™ Dark Blue primarily in flower color. Plants of the new cultivar have flowers of a lighter purple-color than plants of Superbena™ Dark Blue.
The accompanying photographs show as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to make the same in color illustrations of this type, typical flower and foliage characteristics of the new cultivar. Colors in the photographs differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed description, which accurately describe the colors of ‘Balazgagic’. The plants were grown in a greenhouse for 10 weeks in West Chicago, Ill.
The chart used in the identification of colors described herein is The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society, London, England, 1995 edition, except where general color terms of ordinary significance are used. The color values were determined on Jul. 21, 2003. The readings were taken between 10:30 and 11:30 a.m. under natural daylight conditions. The plants used for the following descriptions and measurements were produced from cuttings taken from stock plants and were grown in a double polycarbonate-covered greenhouse under conditions comparable to those used in commercial practice. The plants were grown in 10 cm pots for 10 weeks while utilizing a soilless growth medium. Greenhouse temperatures were maintained at approximately 70°-80° F. during the day and approximately 62°-65° F. during the night. Greenhouse light levels were maintained at 5,000-8,000 footcandles during the day.
