Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Petunia plant named ‘Jam Litbule’, characterized by its low trailing, outwardly spreading and mounded plant habit; freely branching habit; freely flowering habit; large single flowers that are violet blue in color; and good garden performance.
Description
Botanical classification/cultivar designation: Petunia×hybrida cultivar Jam Litbule.
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Petunia plant, botanically known as Petunia×hybrida, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Jam Litbule.
The new Petunia is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Gilroy, Calif. The objective of the breeding program is to create new freely flowering Petunias with trailing and spreading plant habit and attractive leaf and flower coloration.
The new Petunia originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in September, 2000 of the Petunia×hybrida cultivar Celebration Blue Crystal, not patented, as the female, or seed parent, with the Petunia×hybrida Petunia cultivar Surfinia Blue, not patented, as the male, or pollen parent. The new Petunia was selected as a single plant from the resulting progeny of the cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Gilroy, Calif. in March, 2001.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal vegetative cuttings since March, 2001, in Gilroy, Calif. has shown that the unique features of this new Petunia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the cultivar Jam Litbule have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. 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 ‘Jam Litbule’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Jam Litbule’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
-
- 1. Low trailing, outwardly spreading and mounded plant habit.
- 2. Freely branching habit.
- 3. Freely flowering habit.
- 4. Large single flowers that are violet blue in color.
- 5. Good garden performance.
In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Gilroy, Calif., plants of the new Petunia differed from plants of the female parent, the cultivar Celebration Blue Crystal, in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Petunia flowered earlier than plants of the cultivar Celebration Blue Crystal.
- 2. Plants of the new Petunia and the cultivar Celebration Blue Crystal differed in flower color as plants of the cultivar Celebration Blue Crystal had violet blue-colored flowers with distinct venation.
In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Gilroy, Calif., plants of the new Petunia differed from plants of the male parent, the cultivar Surfinia Blue, in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Petunia flowered earlier than plants of the cultivar Surfinia Blue.
- 2. Flowers of plants of the new Petunia were lighter violet blue in color than flowers of plants of the cultivar Surfinia Blue.
Plants of the new Petunia can be compared to plants of the cultivar Surfinia Sky Blue, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Gilroy, Calif., plants of the new Petunia differed from plants of the cultivar Surfinia Sky Blue in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Leaves of plants of the new Petunia were narrower than leaves of plants of the cultivar Surfinia Sky Blue.
- 2. Plants of the new Petunia were more freely flowering than plants of the cultivar Surfinia Sky Blue.
- 3. Flowers of plants of the new Petunia were larger and darker in color than flowers of plants of the cultivar Surfinia Sky Blue.
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates 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 photograph may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Petunia.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical plant of ‘Jam Litbule’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet is a close-up view of typical flowers and leaves of ‘Jam Litbule’.
Plants of the cultivar Jam Litbule 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 ranging from 24 to 29° C., night temperatures ranging from 13 to 18° C. and light levels about 2,000 foot-candles. Plants used for the photographs and description were about 12 weeks from planting rooted cuttings. 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.
