Abstract
A new distinct cultivar of Osteospermum plant named ‘Sunny Stephanie’, characterized by purple ray floret color from RHS N78A with stripes of RHS N77B purple to RHS 59C, red-purple, with stripes of RHS N57B red-purple; dense and bushy plant form, mainly due to more upright stems; moderately vigorous growth habit, less need for chemical growth retardation; and high number of inflorescences per plant.
Description
Genus and species of the plant claimed: Osteospermum ecklonis (DC) T. Norl.
Variety denomination: ‘Sunny Stephanie’.
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Osteospermum plant, botanically known as Osteospermum ecklonis (DC) T. Norl., commonly known by the name Cape Daisy and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Sunny Stephanie’.
The new Osteospermum is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor, Bjarne N. Larsen, in Stige, Denmark. The new Osteospermum originated from a cross made in 1999 between Osteospermum ecklonis (DC) T. Norl. variety named ‘Sunny Martha’ (unpatented) and Osteospermum ecklonis (DC) T. Norl. designated ‘2.223.98’ (unpatented). The Inventor selected the new Osteospermum cultivar from the progeny of the above crossing in 2002 on the basis of its inflorescence color and compact, freely branching habit. Plants of the new Osteospermum are upright, compact and have a unique color combination of upper and underside of the rayflorets.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal vegetative cuttings taken and propagated during trial production batches in Stige, Denmark, has shown that the unique features of this new Osteospermum are stable and reproduced true to type in many successive generations.
Plants of the cultivar ‘Sunny Stephanie’ have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity, day length, and fertility level without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Sunny Stephanie’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Sunny Stephanie’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
-
- 1. Purple ray floret color from RHS N78A with stripes of RHS N77B, purple, to RHS 59C, red-purple with stripes of RHS N57B, red-purple.
- 2. Dense and bushy plant form, mainly due to more upright stems.
- 3. Moderately vigorous growth habit, less need for chemical growth retardation.
- 4. High number of inflorescences per plant.
Plants of the cultivar ‘Sunny Stephanie’ can be compared to plants of the parental cultivars ‘Sunny Martha’ and ‘2.223.98’. Plants of the cultivar ‘Sunny Stephanie’ differ from plants of the parental cultivars, ‘Sunny Martha’ and ‘2.223.98’, primarily in inflorescence color.
Plants of the cultivar ‘Sunny Stephanie’ can be compared to plants of the Osteospermum ecklonis (DC) T. Norl. Cultivar ‘Sunny Nathalie’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,358). In side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in Stige Denmark, plants of the cultivar ‘Sunny Stephanie’ and ‘Sunny Nathalie’ differ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. ‘Sunny Stephanie’ has striking color combinations of purple to red-purple ray florets and dark purple disk florets with orange pollen.
- 2. ‘Sunny Stephanie’ has yellow-green-colored leaves while plants of the cultivar ‘Sunny Nathalie’ have darker green leaves.
- 3. ‘Sunny Stephanie’ has shorter and sturdier peduncles than plants of the cultivar ‘Sunny Nathalie’.
- 4. ‘Sunny Stephanie’ is shorter and more compact than the plants of the cultivar ‘Sunny Nathalie’.
- 5. ‘Sunny Stephanie’ has more and larger inflorescences per plant than the plants of the cultivar ‘Sunny Nathalie’.
Plants of the cultivar ‘Sunny Stephanie’ can be compared to plants of the Osteopermum ecklonis (DC) T. Norl. cultivar ‘Sunny Ingrid’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,996). The following table shows a side-by-side comparison conducted by the Inventor in Stige, Denmark, between ‘Sunny Stephanie’ and ‘Sunny Ingrid’.

The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Osteospermum cultivar ‘Sunny Stephanie’ showing the colors as true as is reasonably possible with 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 color of the new Osteospermum cultivar ‘Sunny Stephanie’.
The first photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Sunny Stephanie’ as grown in an 11 cm pot.
The second photograph is a close-up of the young and older inflorescences of ‘Sunny Stephanie’.
The third photograph is a top view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Sunny Stephanie’.
The fourth photograph shows the inflorescences and leaves of ‘Sunny Stephanie’ (in the fourth photograph, ‘Sunny Stephanie’ is labelled by its breeder's reference no. 50.037.00).
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 4th edition, where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. Plants were grown under greenhouse conditions. The plants described were grown for about 20 weeks after cutting.
