Abstract
A new and distinct hybrid of Heuchera plant characterized by veiled, chocolate colored foliage, hot pink flowers on short dark stalks, a mounding habit, and excellent vigor.
Description
Botanical denomination: Heuchera hybrid.
Variety designation: ‘Tango’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Heuchera hybrid and given the cultivar name of ‘Tango’. Heuchera is in the family Saxifragaceae. Heuchera ‘Tango’ originated from a cross between Heuchera 44-1 (an unpatented, experimental, proprietary plant) as the seed parent, and Heuchera 133-3 (an unpatented, experimental, proprietary plant) as the pollen parent. Given its ornamental foliage and flower form, it is probable that Heuchera. sanguinea, H. americana, and H. micrantha are in its parentage.
This new Heuchera is distinguished by:
-
- 1. Chocolate brown, silver-veiled foliage
- 2. Hot pink flowers on numerous, dark flowering stems
- 3. Mounding habit
- 4. Excellent vigor
This new cultivar has been reproduced only by asexual propagation (division and tissue culture). Each of the progeny exhibits identical characteristics to the original plant. Asexual propagation by division and tissue culture using standard micropropagation techniques with terminal and lateral shoots, as done in Canby, Oreg., shows that the foregoing characteristics and distinctions come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations. The present invention has not been evaluated under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary with variations in environment without a change in the genotype of the plant.
The following is a detailed description of the new Heuchera cultivar based on observations taken in May of a two-year-old specimen grown a two gallon container in an open air shade house with 50% shade cover and added irrigation in the summer months in Canby, Oreg. Canby is in Zone 8 on the USDA Hardiness map. Temperatures range from a high of 95 degrees F. in August to an average of 32 degrees F. in January. Normal rainfall in Canby is 42.8 inches per year. The color descriptions are all based on The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart.

Compared to Heuchera ‘Vesuvius’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,215), this new variety has darker leaves with undulating margins, shorter flower stalks, and hot pink rather than dull red flowers.
Compared to Heuchera ‘Cherries Jubilee’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,377), Heuchera ‘Tango’ has darker leaves with undulating margins and hot pink flowers rather than dull red flowers.
Compared to Heuchera ‘Hollywood’ (U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 11/155,215), the new variety has hot pink rather than coral flowers. H. ‘Hollywood’ has wand type flowers while the new variety does not. Both are compact growing plants with dark, veiled leaves and short flowering stems.
Compared to the seed parent, Heuchera 44-1, the new variety has much larger, brighter pink flowers on shorter flowering stems and darker leaves.
Compared to the pollen parent, Heuchera 133-3, the new variety has larger, hot pink rather than medium pink flowers and shorter flowering stems. Both are very free flowering.
