Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Verbena plant named ‘Lan Bluwhit’, characterized by its compact, low and outwardly spreading, and decumbent plant habit; freely branching habit; early and uniform flowering habit and white-colored flowers.
Description
Botanical classification/cultivar designation: Verbena hybrida cultivar Lan Bluwhit.
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Verbena plant, botanically known as Verbena hybrida, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Lan Bluwhit’.
The new Verbena is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Gilroy, Calif. The objective of the breeding program is to develop new compact Verbena cultivars with early and uniform flowering, good basal branching, attractive flower and foliage coloration, and tolerance to Powdery Mildew.
The new Verbena originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in May, 2000 of a proprietary Verbena hybrida selection identified as code number 99-978-1, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary Verbena hybrida selection identified as code number S231-2, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The cultivar Lan Bluwhit was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny from this cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Gilroy, Calif. in January, 2001.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings in Gilroy, Calif., since January, 2001 has shown that the unique features of this new Verbena are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Lan Bluwhit’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Lan Bluwhit’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
-
- 1. Compact, low and outwardly spreading, and decumbent plant habit.
- 2. Freely branching habit.
- 3. Early and uniform flowering habit.
- 4. White-colored flowers.
- 5. Tolerant to Powdery Mildew.
In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Gilroy, Calif., plants of the new Verbena differed from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Verbena were more upright than plants of the female parent selection.
- 2. Plants of the new Verbena and the female parent selection differed in flower color as plants of the female parent selection had deep purple-colored flowers.
In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Gilroy, Calif., plants of the new Verbena differed from plants of the male parent selection in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Verbena were more vigorous than plants of the male parent selection.
- 2. Plants of the new Verbena were not as upright as plants of the male parent selection.
The new Verbena can be compared to the cultivar, Sunmaririho, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,743. However, in side-by-side comparisons conducted in Gilroy, Calif., plants of the new Verbena differed from plants of the cultivar Sunmaririho in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Verbena were more vigorous than plants of the cultivar Sunmaririho.
- 2. Plants of the new Verbena had larger and slightly lighter green-colored leaves than plants of the cultivar Sunmaririho.
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.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Lan Bluwhit’.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet is a close-up view of typical flower racemes and leaves of ‘Lan Bluwhit’.
Flower and foliage 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 Verbena.
Plants of the cultivar Lan Bluwhit 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 aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Gilroy, Calif., under commercial practice in a polyethylene-covered greenhouse during the summer with day temperatures about 24 to 32° C., night temperatures about 13 to 18° C. and light levels about 2,000 foot-candles. Plants used for the photographs and description were about twelve weeks from planting rooted cuttings and were pinched twice. 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.
