Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Sedum plant named ‘Sunkissed’, characterized by its upright and compact plant habit; freely basal branching growth habit; relatively short peduncles; and yellow-colored flowers.
Description
Botanical designation: Sedum telephium.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Sunkissed’.
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Sedum plant, botanically known as Sedum telephium, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Sunkissed’.
The new Sedum is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Rijpwetering, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program is to develop new compact Sedum cultivars with uniform growth habit and attractive flower coloration.
The new Sedum originated from a chance cross-pollination made by the Inventor in 2001 of two unknown seedling selections of Sedum telephium. The new Sedum was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the stated chance cross-pollination grown in a controlled environment in Rijpwetering, The Netherlands in 2002.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken at Rijpwetering, The Netherlands, since 2003, has shown that the unique features of this new Sedum are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the cultivar Sunkissed 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 ‘Sunkissed’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Sunkissed’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
-
- 1. Upright and compact plant habit.
- 2. Freely basal branching growth habit.
- 3. Relatively short peduncles.
- 4. Yellow-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Sedum can also be compared to plants of the Sedum telephinum cultivar Cream Explanation, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Rijpwetering, The Netherlands, plants of the new Sedum differed from plants of the cultivar Cream Explanation in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Sedum were more compact than plants of the cultivar Cream Explanation.
- 2. Plants of the new Sedum and the cultivar Cream Explanation differed in flower coloration as plants of the cultivar Cream Explanation had cream-colored flowers.
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 actual colors of the new Sedum.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Picolette’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the top of the second sheet comprises a close-up view of a typical inflorescence of ‘Picolette’.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet is a close-up view of the upper surface of a typical leaf of ‘Picolette’.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2001 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. Plants used for the aforementioned photographs and following description were grown under conditions which closely approximate commercial production conditions during the late summer in an outdoor nursery in Rijpwetering, The Netherlands for about one year. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 14 to 32° C. and night temperatures ranged from 7 to 18° C.
