Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Nemesia plant named ‘Fleuripi’ that is characterized by upright compact habit, medium-green leaves, and flowers that are a strong pink color and which set few seeds. In combination these characteristics set ‘Fleuripi’ apart from all other existing varieties of Nemesia known to the inventor.
Description
Genus: Nemesia.
Species: ×hybrida.
Denomination: Fleuripi.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Nemesia plant that is grown as an ornamental for border, patio container or hanging basket. The new cultivar is known botanically as Nemesia×hybrida and will be referred to hereinafter by the cultivar name ‘Fleuripi’. The new variety ‘Fleuripi’ is floriferous, sets few seeds, exhibits upright compact habit, medium-green leaves, and flowers that are a strong pink color.
‘Fleuripi’ is a hybrid that resulted from a formal breeding program begun by the inventor in 1998 at her nursery in West Sussex, United Kingdom. The purpose of the breeding program is to produce new varieties of Nemesia that exhibit compact habit, new flower color and improved flower size.
In 1999, the inventor cross-pollinated Nemesia ‘Confetti’ (unpatented) as female parent with an unnamed single individual Nemesia seedling as male parent. The inventor collected the seed, then sowed and grew to flowering stage many plants from this cross-pollination. From these plants, the inventor selected one plant known to the inventor as Nemesia seedling #7 (unpatented), for the purposes of further breeding. In 2000, the inventor deliberately cross-pollinated Nemesia ‘Confetti’ as female parent with and Nemesia seedling #7 (unpatented) as male parent. The inventor collected the seed, then sowed and grew to flowering stage many plants from this cross-pollination and from which the inventor selected ‘Fleuripi’ as a single plant with the desired characteristics described herein.
‘Fleuripi’ is distinguishable from the male parent Nemesia seedling #7 in upright compact growth habit. Nemesia seedling #7 exhibits a trailing growth habit. ‘Fleuripi’ is distinguishable from the female parent ‘Confetti’ by small size, flower color, and compact growth habit. Nemesia ‘Confetti’ is more than twice the height, with pale pink flowers. The closest comparison plant is Nemesia ‘Confetti’ which exhibits pale pink flowers and tall upright habit.
‘Fleuripi’ was first asexually propagated by the inventor in 2001 in a cultivated area of West Sussex, United Kingdom using softwood cuttings. The distinguishing characteristics of ‘Fleuripi’ have been determined stable and are reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and represent the distinguishing characteristics of ‘Fleuripi’. In combination these traits set the new cultivar apart from all other existing varieties of Nemesia known to the inventor. ‘Fleuripi’ has not been tested under all possible conditions and phenotypic differences may be observed with variations in environmental, climatic, and cultural conditions, however, without any variance in genotype.
-
- 1. Nemesia×hybrida ‘Fleuripi’ exhibits upright compact habit.
- 2. Nemesia×hybrida ‘Fleuripi’ exhibits flowers that are a strong pink color.
- 3. Nemesia×hybrida ‘Fleuripi’ sets few seeds.
- 4. Nemesia×hybrida ‘Fleuripi’ is an ornamental that is suitable for use as a border plant, for patio container or hanging basket.
- 5. Nemesia×hybrida ‘Fleuripi’ is 19 cm. in height and 15 cm. in width at maturity.
- 6. Nemesia×hybrida ‘Fleuripi’ is floriferous.
- 7. Nemesia×hybrida ‘Fleuripi’ exhibits medium-green leaves.
- 8. Nemesia×hybrida ‘Fleuripi’ is hardy to minus 6° Centigrade.
The accompanying color drawing illustrates the overall appearance of the new Nemesia cultivar ‘Fleuripi’ showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the drawing may differ from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description, which accurately describe the actual colors of the new variety ‘Fleuripi’. The drawing depicts a six months old single plant of ‘Fleuripi’ which had been grown as follows: a cutting of ‘Fleuripi’ was rooted in spring in an unheated greenhouse in Bonsall, Calif. in a propagation cell of approximate dimensions 2 cm×2 cm. The resulting young plant was transplanted into a 13 cm diameter round container, pinched once after establishment, and grown without further pinching or chemical growth regulator out of doors until in full flower. The drawing was made using conventional techniques and although colors may appear different from actual colors due to light reflectance, they are as accurate as possible by conventional photography.
The following is a detailed description ‘Fleuripi’. Botanical data was collected in 2004 in Arroyo Grande, Calif. from a two-three months old plant of ‘Fleuripi’ grown in a 9 cm container in an unheated greenhouse. Phenotypic differences may be observed with variations in environmental, climatic, and cultural conditions. The color determinations are in accordance with the 2001 edition of The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
