Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Petunia plant named ‘Fort Red’, characterized by its upright and outwardly spreading and mounded plant habit; freely branching habit; freely flowering habit; large single flowers that are red in color; and good garden performance.

Description

Botanical designation: Petunia×hybrida.
Variety denomination: ‘Fort Red’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
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 Fort Red.
The new Petunia is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in De Lier, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program is to create new freely flowering Petunias with an outwardly spreading plant habit and attractive leaf and flower coloration.
The new Petunia originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in 2002 of a proprietary seedling selection of Petunia×hybrida identified as code number 0390, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary seedling selection of Petunia×hybrida identified as code number 408, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Petunia was selected as a single plant from the resulting progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in De Lier, The Netherlands.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal vegetative cuttings since 2003, in De Lier, The Netherlands has shown that the unique features of this new Petunia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the cultivar Fort Red 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 ‘Fort Red’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Fort Red’ as a new and distinct cultivar.
    • 1. Upright and outwardly spreading and mounded plant habit.
    • 2. Freely branching habit.
    • 3. Freely flowering habit.
    • 4. Large single flowers that are red in color.
    • 5. Good garden performance.
In side-by-side comparisons conducted in De Lier, The Netherlands, plants of the new Petunia differed from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Petunia were more vigorous than plants of the female parent selection.
    • 2. Plants of the new Petunia flowered earlier than plants of the female parent selection.
In side-by-side comparisons conducted in De Lier, The Netherlands, plants of the new Petunia differed from plants of the male parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Petunia were more upright than and not as cascading as plants of the male parent selection.
    • 2. Flowers of plants of the new Petunia flowered earlier than plants of the male parent selection.
Plants of the new Petunia also can be compared to plants of the cultivar Big Red Rising Sun, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in De Lier, The Netherlands, plants of the new Petunia differed from plants of the cultivar Big Red Rising Sun in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Leaves of plants of the new Petunia were larger than plants of the cultivar Big Red Rising Sun.
    • 2. Plants of the new Petunia were more upright than plants of the cultivar Big Red Rising Sun.
    • 3. Flowers of plants of the new Petunia were larger than flowers of plants of the cultivar Big Red Rising Sun.
Plants of the new Petunia also can be compared to plants of the cultivar Surfinia Red, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in De Lier, The Netherlands, plants of the new Petunia differed from plants of the cultivar Surfinia Red in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Petunia were more upright than plants of the cultivar Surfinia Red.
    • 2. Plants of the new Petunia had shorter internodes than plants of the cultivar Surfinia Red.
    • 3. Flowers of plants of the new Petunia were more intense red in color than flowers of plants of the cultivar Surfinia Red.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
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 on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical plant of ‘Fort Red’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of typical flowers and leaves of ‘Fort Red’.
