Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Ligularia plant named ‘Laternchen’, characterized by its relatively compact and short plant habit; freely flowering habit; golden yellow ray and disc florets; and good garden performance.
Description
Botanical classification/cultivar designation: Ligularia×Hessei cultivar Laternchen.
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Ligularia plant, botanically known as Ligularia×Hessei, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Laternchen.
The new Ligularia is a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of the Ligularia×Hessei cultivar Gregynog Gold, not patented. The new Ligularia was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single plant within a population of plants of the cultivar Gregynog Gold in a controlled environment in Borken-Marbech, Germany, in 1996.
A sexual reproduction of the new cultivar by divisions at Borken-Marbech, Germany since 1996, has shown that the unique features of this new Ligularia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the cultivar Laternchen have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature and light level without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Laternchen’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Lanternchen’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Ligularia:
-
- 1. Relatively compact and short plant habit.
- 2. Freely flowering habit.
- 3. Golden yellow ray and disc florets.
- 4. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Ligularia are most similar to plants of the parent, the cultivar Gregynog. Compared to plants of the cultivar Gregynog Gold and other cultivars of Ligularia known to the Inventor, plants of the new Ligularia are more compact, shorter and differ in inflorescence shape.
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 more accurately describe the actual colors of the new Ligularia.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Laternchen’.
The photograph at the top of the second sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical vegetative plant of ‘Laternchen’.
The photograph at the bottom of the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical vegetative plant of ‘Laternchen’.
The photograph at the top of the third sheet is a close-up view of a typical inflorescence of ‘Laternchen’.
The photograph at the bottom of the third sheet is a close-up view of a typical leaf of ‘Laternchen’.
The aforementioned photographs, following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Lisse, The Netherlands, in an outdoor nursery and under commercial production practices during the summer. Plants were grown in 17-cm containers and were about one year old when the photographs and description were taken. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 14 to 31° C. and night temperatures ranged from 4 to 16° C. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2001 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
