Abstract

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

Description

Botanical designation: Petunia×hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Sunsurflala’.
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 Sunsurflala.
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, 2001, of the Petunia cultivar Polo Violet, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary Petunia selection identified as code P55h, 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, 2003 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 Sunsurflala 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 ‘Sunsurflala’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Sunsurflala’ 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. Light purple-colored flowers with dark purple-colored venation.
    • 5. Long flowering period.
    • 6. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Petunia differ from plants of the female parent, the cultivar Polo Violet, in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Petunia are shorter and broader than plants of the cultivar Polo Violet.
    • 2. Plants of the new Petunia flower for a longer period of time than plants of the cultivar Polo Violet.
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.
    • 3. Plants of the new Petunia and the male parent selection differ in petal coloration as plants of the male parent selection have white-colored petals.
Plants of the new Petunia can be compared to plants of the cultivar Revolution Bluevein No. 2, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 12,101. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan, plants of the new Petunia differed from plants of the cultivar Revolution Bluevein No. 2 in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Petunia were taller than plants of the cultivar Revolution Bluevein No. 2.
    • 2. Plants of the new Petunia had larger leaves than plants of the cultivar Revolution Bluevein No. 2.
    • 3. Plants of the new Petunia had smaller flowers than plants of the cultivar Revolution Bluevein No. 2.
    • 4. Plants of the new Petunia and the cultivar Revolution Bluevein No. 2 differed in petal coloration as plants of the cultivar Revolution Bluevein No. 2 had light red purple-colored petals.
    • 5. Plants of the new Petunia and the cultivar Revolution Bluevein No. 2 differed in flower throat and tube coloration.
    • 6. Plants of the new Petunia flowered longer than plants of the cultivar Revolution Bluevein No. 2.
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 ‘Sunsurflala’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a close-up view of typical flowers of ‘Sunsurflala’.
 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 spring and early summer with day temperatures about 23° C. and night temperatures about 15° C. Plants were pinched one time in the early spring. Color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2001 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
