Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Coreopsis plant named ‘Limerock Passion’, characterized by its daisy-type inflorescences; unique light red purple-colored ray florets and dark purple-colored disc florets; very freely flowering habit with numerous inflorescences per plant; and upright and outwardly spreading growth habit.
Description
Botanical classification/cultivar designation: Coreopsis hybrida cultivar Limerock Passion.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Coreopsis plant, botanically known as Coreopsis hybrida and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Limerock Passion’.
The new Coreopsis was discovered and selected by the Inventor in a controlled environment in Lancaster, Pa. on Sep. 11, 2001, as a naturally-occurring branch mutation of the Coreopsis hybrida cultivar Limerock Ruby, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 15,455. The branch mutation was observed by the Inventor within a population of flowering plants of the cultivar Limerock Ruby.
Asexual reproduction of the new Coreopsis by vegetative tip cuttings in a controlled environment in Smoketown, Pa., since Jan. 16, 2002, has shown that the unique features of this new Coreopsis are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The cultivar Limerock Passion has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, daylength 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 ‘Limerock Passion’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Limerock Passion’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
-
- 1. Daisy-type inflorescences that are about 3.5 cm in diameter.
- 2. Unique light red purple-colored ray florets and dark purple-colored disc florets.
- 3. Very freely flowering with numerous inflorescences per plant.
- 4. Upright and outwardly spreading growth habit.
Plants of the new Coreopis are most similar to plants of the parent, the cultivar Limerock Ruby. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Smoketown, Pa., plants of the new Coreopsis differed primarily from plants of the cultivar Limerock Ruby in ray floret coloration. Plants of various selections and other cultivars of Coreopsis known to the Inventor, not patented, also differ from plants of the new Coreopsis in ray floret coloration.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Coreopsis, 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 Coreopsis.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Limerock Passion’.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet is a close-up view of typical inflorescences of ‘Limerock Passion’.
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. The following observations and measurements describe pinched plants grown in Tolar, Tex. during the summer and fall outdoors under full sun and cultural conditions which approximate commercial practice. Plants used for the photographs and description were grown as single plants in one-gallon containers and were about nine months old. Measurements and numerical values represent averages taken from a group of flowering plants.
