Abstract
A new cultivar of Gentian, Gentiana makinoi ‘Marsha’, characterized by its large, deep blue flowers borne on thick, strong stems combined with a plant habit that is compact, short and uniform in height.
Description
Botanical classification: Gentiana makinoi.
Varietal denomination: ‘Marsha’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Gentiana makinoi and will be referred to hereafter by its cultivar name, ‘Marsha’. ‘Marsha’ represents a new Gentian, an herbaceous perennial grown for landscape use.
The inventor discovered the new cultivar, ‘Marsha’, as a chance seedling that arose in a cultivated area in his nursery in Reeuwijk, The Netherlands in the summer of 1996. Although the parentage is unknown, the characteristics of the new cultivar and the presence of the cultivar Gentiana makinoi ‘Royal Blue’ (not patented) in the nursery suggest that ‘Royal Blue’ is a likely parent.
The new cultivar ‘Marsha’ was selected for its unique characteristics in plant habit combined with the deep blue flowers that are characteristic of ‘Royal Blue’. In comparison to ‘Royal Blue’, ‘Marsha’ has thicker stems, a more compact growth habit, and a plant height that is shorter and more uniform.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar was first accomplished by taking stem cuttings in Reeuwijk, The Netherlands in 1996. ‘Marsha’ was subsequently propagated by tissue culture. It has been determined by propagation both by stem cuttings and tissue culture that the characteristics of the new cultivar are stable and are reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and represent the characteristics of the new cultivar after observing plants grown outdoors in a field for two years in Reeuwijk, The Netherlands. These attributes in combination distinguish ‘Marsha’ from ‘Royal Blue’ and all other varieties of Gentians known to the inventor.
-
- 1. Large, deep blue colored flowers.
- 2. Compact growth habit, reaching about 40 cm in height and 50 cm in spread.
- 3. Flowers are borne on thicker, strong stems in comparison to ‘Royal Blue’.
- 4. Stems are more uniform in height in comparison to ‘Royal Blue’.
- 5. Shorter in height than ‘Royal Blue’.
- 6. Suitable as a cut flower.
The plants and plant parts in the photographs depict a two-year old plant of ‘Marsha’ as grown outdoors in a field plot in Reeuwijk, The Netherlands.
The photograph on the first sheet provides an overall view of the new Gentian in bloom.
The photograph on the top of the second sheet is a close-up view of the flowers of ‘Marsha’ and the photograph on the bottom of the second sheet is a close-up view of a leaf of ‘Marsha’.
The colors in the photographs are as close as possible with the photographic and printing technology utilized. The color values cited in the detailed botanical description accurately describe the colors of the new Gentian.
The following is a detailed description of the new cultivar as grown outdoors in fertile, well drained soil in full sun in The Netherlands for 2 years with average day temperatures ranging from 17° C. to 32° C. and average night temperatures ranging from 10° C. to 19° C. The phenotype of the new cultivar may vary with variations in environmental, climatic, and cultural conditions, as it has not been tested under all possible environmental conditions. The color determination is in accordance with the 2001 R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Sociey, London, England, except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
