Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Helenium plant named ‘Chelsey’, characterized by its upright and somewhat outwardly spreading plant habit; freely basal branching growth habit; large upright-facing inflorescences with yellow and red bi-colored ray florets; and good garden performance.

Description

Botanical designation: Helenium hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Chelsey’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Helenium plant, botanically known as Helenium hybrida, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Chelsey’.
The new Helenium is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Lisse, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program was to develop Helenium cultivars with better growth habit and attractive ray and disc floret coloration.
The new Helenium originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in 1999 of the Helenium hybrida cultivar Kanaria, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with an unnamed seedling selection of Helenium hybrida, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The cultivar Chelsey was discovered and selected by the Inventor in 2000 as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Lisse, The Netherlands.
Asexual reproduction of the new Helenium by cuttings was first conducted in Lisse, The Netherlands in 2002. Since then, asexual reproduction by cuttings has shown that the unique features of this new Helenium are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar Chelsey has 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 ‘Chelsey’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Chelsey’ as a new and distinct Helenium:
    • 1. Upright and somewhat outwardly spreading plant habit.
    • 2. Freely basal branching growth habit.
    • 3. Large upright-facing inflorescences with yellow and red bi-colored ray florets.
    • 4. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Helenium differ primarily from plants of the female parent, the cultivar Kanaria, primarily in ray floret coloration as plants of the cultivar Kanaria have solid yellow-colored ray florets. Plants of the new Helenium differ primarily from plants of the male parent selection primarily in ray floret coloration as plants of the male parent selection have solid red-colored ray florets.
Plants of the new Helenium can be compared to plants of the Helenium cultivar Moerheim Beauty, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Lisse, The Netherlands, plants of the new Helenium differed from plants of the cultivar Moerheim Beauty in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Helenium had larger inflorescences than plants of the cultivar Moerheim Beauty.
    • 2. Plants of the new Helenium were more freely flowering than plants of the cultivar Moerheim Beauty.
    • 3. Plants of the new Helenium and the cultivar Moerheim Beauty differed in ray floret coloration as plants of the cultivar Moerheim Beauty had less intensely-colored ray florets.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Helenium showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Helenium.
The photograph at the top of the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical non-flowering plant of ‘Chelsey’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the bottom of the first sheet is a close-up view of a typical leaf of ‘Chelsey’.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical inflorescence of ‘Chelsey’.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The new Helenium has 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 aforementioned photographs, following observations and measurements describe plants grown in 17-cm containers in Hillegom, The Netherlands, in an outdoor nursery and under commercial production practices. Plants used for the photographs and the description were about one year old. The photographs and description were taken during the late summer with day temperatures ranging from 14 to 31° C. and night temperatures ranging 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.
