Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Echinacea purpurea plant named ‘Fragrant Angel’ characterized by its unique flowers with clean white rays that are spread out perpendicular to the stem, orange cone, lovely fragrance, and an upright vigorous habit.
Description
Botanical name: Echinacea purpurea.
Variety designation: ‘Fragrant Angel’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Echinacea purpurea and given the cultivar name ‘Fragrant Angel’. Echinacea is in the family Asteraceae. This new cultivar originated as a crown section mutation in a mass planting of Echinacea purpurea ‘Ruby Giant’ (an unpatented plant) in the nursery trial fields in Canby, Oreg.
This new Echinacea purpurea cultivar is distinguished by:
-
- 1. Large white flowers with a double row of rays flowers.
- 2. Lovely fragrance.
- 3. Ray flowers spread out stiffly, parallel to ground.
- 4. Strong upright stems.
- 5. Good vigor.
This new cultivar has been reproduced only by asexual propagation (division and tissue culture). Each of the progeny exhibits identical characteristics to the original plant. Asexual propagation by division and tissue culture using standard micropropagation techniques with terminal and lateral shoots, as done in Canby, Oreg., shows that the foregoing characteristics and distinctions come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations. The present invention has not been evaluated under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary with variations in environment without a change in the genotype of the plant.
The photograph shows a two year old Echinacea purpurea ‘Fragrant Angel’ growing in the ground in the field in the summer in Canby, Oreg.
The following is a detailed description of the new Echinacea purpurea cultivar based on observations of a one-year-old specimen growing in the trial fields in Canby, Oreg. The color descriptions are all based on The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart.

Compared to Echinacea purpurea ‘Ruby Giant’, an unpatented plant, the flowers of this new cultivar are white instead of red purple in color. The overall plant is lighter colored, without dark peduncles.
Compared to Echinacea purpurea ‘White Swan’, an unpatented seed strain, the new cultivar has ray petals in two series rather than one, with the ray petals stiffly parallel to the ground rather than weeping or variable, and a disc that is orange rather than gold brown.
Compared to Echinacea purpurea ‘Kim's Mop Head’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,560), the new cultivar is taller with the flowers with ray petals stiffly parallel to the ground rather than weeping, and with the disc orange rather than greenish. Also the ray petals of the new cultivar are white rather than cream.
Compared to Echinacea purpurea ‘Cygnet White’, an unpatented plant, the new cultivar has ray petals in two series rather than one, with the ray petals stiffly parallel to the ground rather than slightly weeping, and it is taller.
