Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Scoparia plant named ‘USSCO10’, characterized by its upright plant habit; freely branching growth habit; very freely flowering habit; and small light violet blue-colored flowers.

Description

Botanical designation: Scoparia sp.
Variety denomination: ‘USSCO10’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Scoparia plant, botanically known as Scoparia sp., and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name USSCO10.
The new Scoparia is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Hikone, Shiga, Japan. The objective of the breeding program is to create new freely-branching Scoparias with numerous flowers and attractive flower coloration.
The new Scoparia originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor on May 25, 1999 of an unnamed selection of Scoparia sp., not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with an unnamed Scoparia sp., not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Scoparia sp. was selected as a single plant from the resulting progeny of the cross-pollination by the Inventor on May 12, 2000 in a controlled environment in Bonsall, Calif.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings in a controlled environment in Bonsall, Calif. since Jul. 1, 2000, has shown that the unique features of this new Scoparia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the cultivar USSCO10 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 ‘USSCO10’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘USSCO10’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Scoparia:
    • 1. Upright plant habit.
    • 2. Freely branching growth habit.
    • 3. Very freely flowering habit.
    • 4. Small light violet blue-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Scoparia are most similar to plants of the parent selections. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Hikone, Shiga, Japan, plants of the new Scoparia differed from plants of parent selections in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Scoparia were more vigorous than plants of the parent selections.
    • 2. Plants of the new Scoparia had larger flowers than plants of the parent selections.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
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 colors of the new Scoparia.
The photograph at the top left of the sheet is a close-up view of typical flowers and leaves of ‘USSCO10’.
The photograph at the top right of the sheet is a close-up of a flowering stem of ‘USSCO10’.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘USSCO10’ grown in a container.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Bonsall, Calif. in an outdoor nursery during the late spring with day temperatures ranging from 16 to 38° C. and night temperatures ranging from 7 to 18° C. Plants were grown in 15-cm container and had been growing for about 22 weeks when the photographs and description were taken. Color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
