Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Argyranthemum plant named ‘Cobwhite’, characterized by its compact, upright and mounded plant habit; freely branching habit, dense and bushy plants; freely flowering habit with numerous inflorescences per plant; daisy-type inflorescence form with white-colored ray florets and yellow orange-colored disc florets.
Description
Botanical classification/cultivar denomination: Argyranthemum frutescens cultivar Cobwhite.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Argyranthemum plant, botanically known as Argyranthemum frutescens and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Cobwhite’.
The new Argyranthemum is a whole plant mutation of the Argyranthemum cultivar Cobsing, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,541. The new Poinsettia was discovered and selected by the Inventor in a controlled environment in Encinitas, Calif. on May 30, 2002. The new Argyranthemum was selected on the basis its unique ray floret coloration.
Asexual reproduction of the new Argyranthemum by terminal cuttings in a controlled environment in Encinitas, Calif. since Jun. 12, 2002, has shown that the unique features of this new Argyranthemum are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The new Argyranthemum has 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 characteristics have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be basic characteristics of ‘Cobwhite’ and distinguish the new Argyranthemum as a new and distinct cultivar:
-
- 1. Compact, upright and mounded plant habit.
- 2. Freely branching habit, dense and bushy plants.
- 3. Freely flowering habit with numerous inflorescences per plant.
- 4. Daisy-type inflorescence form with white-colored ray florets and yellow orange-colored disc florets.
Plants of the new Argyranthemum differ from plants of the cultivar Cobsing primarily in ray floret coloration as plants of the cultivar Cobsing have pink-colored ray florets.
Plants of the new Argyranthemum can be compared to plants of the cultivar Summer Ice, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Encinitas, Calif., plants of the new Argyranthemum differed primarily from plants of the cultivar Summer Ice in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Argyranthemum were more compact than plants of the cultivar Summer Ice.
- 2. Plants of the new Argyranthemum and the cultivar Summer Ice differed in foliage coloration as plants of the cultivar Summer Ice had silvery green-colored foliage.
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 Argyranthemum.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of typical flowering plants of ‘Cobwhite’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a close-up view of typical inflorescences of ‘Cobwhite’.
The aforementioned photographs, following observations and averaged measurements describe plants grown in Encinitas, Calif., in an outdoor nursery under full sunlight during the winter and spring with day temperatures ranging from 15 to 24° C. and night temperatures ranging from 10 to 19° C. Plants were grown in one-gallon containers with two plants per container. Plants were pinched one time about five weeks after planting. Plants had been growing for about 16 weeks when the photographs and description were taken. Color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
