Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Scaevola plant named Improved Pink Fanfare, characterized by its spreading to low trailing plant habit; freely branching habit; freely flowering habit; and light violet-colored flowers.
Description
Botanical classification/cultivar designation: Scaevola aemula cultivar Improved Pink Fanfare.
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Scaevola plant, botanically known as Scaevola aemula and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Improved Pink Fanfare’.
The new Scaevola is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The new Scaevola originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in 1995 of a the Scaevola aemula cultivar Purple Fanfare, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with the Scaevola aemula cultivar Pink Perfection, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Scaevola was discovered and selected by the Inventor in 1995 in a controlled environment in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia as a single flowering plant within the resulting progeny from the stated cross-pollination.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings at Brisbane, Queensland, Australia since 1996, has shown that the unique features of this new Scaevola are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The new cultivar 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 characteristics have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the basic characteristics of ‘Improved Pink Fanfare’ which distinguish ‘Improved Pink Fanfare’as a new and distinct cultivar:
-
- 1. Spreading to low trailing plant habit.
- 2. Freely branching habit.
- 3. Freely flowering habit.
- 4. Light violet-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Scaevola are most similar to plants of the parent cultivars. In side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, plants of the new Scaevola and the female parent, the cultivar Purple Fanfare, differed in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Scaevola were more freely flowering than plants of the cultivar Purple Fanfare.
- 2. Plants of the new Scaevola had light violet-colored flowers whereas plants of the cultivar Purple Fanfare had purple-colored flowers.
In side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, plants of the new Scaevola and the male parent, the cultivar Pink Perfection, differed in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Scaevola had larger flowers than plants of the cultivar Pink Perfection.
- 2. Plants of the new Scaevola and the cultivar Pink Perfection differed slightly in flower color.
Plants of the new Scaevola can be compared to plants of the cultivar Fancy, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,867. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Bonsall, Calif., plants of the new Scaevola and the cultivar Fancy differed in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Scaevola were more freely flowering than plants of the cultivar Fancy.
- 2. Plants of the new Scaevola and the cultivar Fancy differed in flower color.
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 Scaevola.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of three typical plants of ‘Improved Pink Fanfare’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet is a close-up view of typical flowers of ‘Improved Pink Fanfare’.
Plants used in the aforementioned photographs and for the following description were grown under conditions which closely approximate commercial production conditions during the spring and summer in an outdoor nursery in Bonsall, Calif. Plants were about six weeks from planting rooted cuttings in 15-cm containers. During the production of the plants, the day temperatures ranged from 18 to 35° C. and night temperatures ranged from 10 to 18° C.
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.
