Abstract

A Verbena cultivar particularly distinguished by red colored flowers, dark green foliage and vigorous growth.

Description

Genus and species: Verbena hybrida×Verbena tenuisecta.
Variety denomination: ‘Rap Reeda’.
BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of verbena, botanically known as Verbena hybrida×Verbena tenuisecta, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Rap Reeda’. The new cultivar is asexually reproduced from vegetative cuttings and tissue culture resulting from the cross between the female parent 1371-1, a red unpatented proprietary line of Verbena hybrida×Verbena tenuisecta, and the male parent 1430-3, a rose unpatented proprietary line of Verbena hybrida×Verbena tenuisecta.
‘Rap Reeda’ is a product of a planned breeding program intended to create new verbena cultivars with red colored flowers, dark green foliage, and vigorous growth.
The new cultivar was created in 2002 in Gilroy, Calif. and has been asexually reproduced repeatedly by vegetative cuttings and tissue culture in Gilroy, Calif.; Andijk, The Netherlands; and Guatemala over a two year period. The plant has also been trialed at Gilroy, Calif.; Litchfield, Mich.; and Andijk, The Netherlands. The present invention has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive propagation, and this novelty is firmly fixed.
DESCRIPTION OF PHOTOGRAPH
This new Verbena plant is illustrated by the accompanying photograph which shows blooms, buds, and foliage of the plant in full color, the colors shown being as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures.
The photograph shows the mature plant with an inset photo of a close-up of the inflorescence.
 DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW CULTIVAR
The following detailed descriptions set forth the distinctive characteristics of ‘Rap Reeda’. The data, which define these characteristics, were collected from asexual reproductions carried out in Gilroy, Calif. The plant history was taken on 7 month old plants grown in one-gallon pots in the Fall/Winter season, in a double poly-greenhouse under natural light and color readings were taken in the greenhouse under natural lights. Color references are primarily to The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London (R.H.S.) 2001. Texture description details were observed under a dissecting microscope according to The New Royal Horticultural Society Dictionary of Gardening (1992).
