Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Petunia plant named ‘Sunsurfpapu’, characterized by its outwardly spreading, mounded and decumbent plant habit; vigorous and freely branching growth habit; freely flowering habit; red purple-colored flowers; long flowering period; and good garden performance.

Description

Botanical designation: Petunia×hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Sunsurfpapu’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Petunia plant, botanically known as Petunia×hybrida, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Sunsurfpapu.
The new Petunia is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventors in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan. The objective of the breeding program is to create new Petunias with numerous flowers with attractive flower colors.
The new Petunia originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventors in August, 1998, of the Petunia cultivar Ultra Red, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with an unnamed proprietary Petunia selection, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Petunia was selected as a single plant from the resulting progeny of the cross-pollination by the Inventors in a controlled environment in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings in a controlled environment in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan since September, 2000 has shown that the unique features of this new Petunia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the cultivar Sunsurfpapu have 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 ‘Sunsurfpapu’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Sunsurfpapu’ as a new and distinct Petunia cultivar:
    • 1. Outwardly spreading, mounded and decumbent plant habit.
    • 2. Vigorous and freely branching growth habit.
    • 3. Freely flowering habit.
    • 4. Red purple-colored flowers.
    • 5. Long flowering period.
    • 6. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Petunia differ from plants of the female parent, the cultivar Ultra Red, in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Petunia are more decumbent than plants of the cultivar Ultra Red.
    • 2. Plants of the new Petunia are shorter than plants of the cultivar Ultra Red.
    • 3. Plants of the new Petunia have smaller flowers than plants of the cultivar Ultra Red.
    • 4. Plants of the new Petunia and the cultivar Ultra Red differ in petal coloration as plants of the cultivar Ultra Red have red-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Petunia differ from plants of the male parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Petunia are taller and broader than plants of the male parent selection.
    • 2. Plants of the new Petunia have larger flowers than plants of the male parent selection.
Plants of the new Petunia can be compared to plants of the cultivar Revolution Brilliantpink, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,914. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan, plants of the new Petunia differed from plants of the cultivar Revolution Brilliantpink in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Petunia had smaller leaves than plants of the cultivar Revolution Brilliantpink.
    • 2. Plants of the new Petunia had smaller flowers than plants of the cultivar Revolution Brilliantpink.
    • 3. Plants of the new Petunia and the cultivar Revolution Brilliantpink differed in flower throat and tube coloration.
    • 4. Plants of the new Petunia flowered longer than plants of the cultivar Revolution Brilliantpink.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
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 accurately describe the colors of the new Petunia.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Sunsurfpapu’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a close-up view of a typical flower of ‘Sunsurfpapu’.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan, in 15-cm containers for about four months in an outdoor nursery during the summer with day temperatures about 25° C. and night temperatures about 18° C. Plants were pinched one time in the early summer. Color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2001 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
