Abstract
A new Lobelia plant particularly distinguished by its compact, mounded, and pendant plant habit, short internodes, and large flower size with a very intense cobalt blue color is disclosed.
Description
Genus and species: Lobelia erinus.
Variety denomination: ‘Lob Bule’.
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of lobelia, botanically known as Lobelia erinus, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Lob Bule’. The new cultivar originated from a hybridization made in 2002 in Andijk, The Netherlands. The female parent was ‘LOB02-12-1’, a white proprietary lobelia line (unpatented), while the male parent was ‘LOB02-14-1’, a blue proprietary lobelia line (unpatented).
The new cultivar was created in 2002 in Andijk, The Netherlands and has been asexually reproduced repeatedly by vegetative cuttings and tissue culture in Gilroy, Calif., and Andijk, The Netherlands over a two-year period. The plant has also been trialed at Gilroy, Calif., and Andijk, The Netherlands. The present invention has been found to be stable and true to type and to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive asexual propagations.
The following are the most outstanding and distinguishing characteristics of this new cultivar when grown under normal horticultural practices in Gilroy, Calif., and Andijk, The Netherlands.
-
- 1. A compact, mounded, and pendant plant habit;
- 2. Short internodes; and
- 3. A large flower size with a very intense cobalt blue color.
This new lobelia plant is illustrated by the accompanying photograph which shows overall plant habit including blooms, buds, and foliage of the plant in full color; the colors shown are as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures. The photograph is of a 4½-month-old plant grown in a six-inch pot in a greenhouse with natural light in a late winter/spring trial setting.
The accompanying photograph shows the overall plant habit including blooms, buds, and mature foliage; the inset shows mature inflorescences.
The following detailed descriptions set forth the distinctive characteristics of ‘Lob Bule’. The data which define these characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried out in Gilroy, Calif. The plant history was taken on six-month-old plants grown in one-gallon pots in a poly-covered greenhouse. Color readings were taken in the greenhouse in the summer season under natural light. Color references are primarily to The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London (R.H.S.) (2001 edition). Texture description details were observed under a dissecting microscope.

‘Lob Bule’ differs from the female parent, ‘LOB02-12-1’, proprietary breeding line (unpatented), in that ‘Lob Bule’ has blue flowers while ‘LOB02-12-1’ has white flowers. Additionally, ‘Lob Bule’ has a more compact plant habit, better branching, and flowers earlier than ‘LOB02-12-1’.
‘Lob Bule’ differs from the male parent, ‘LOB02-14-1’, proprietary breeding line (unpatented), in that ‘Lob Bule’ has a more compact plant habit, better branching, larger leaves, and flowers earlier than ‘LOB02-14-1’.
‘Lob Bule’ differs from the commercial variety ‘Laguna Blue Ice’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 12,947) in that ‘Lob Bule’ has a trailing (compact, bushy, and pendulous) plant habit, while ‘Laguna Blue Ice’ has a mounding plant habit. ‘Lob Bule’ has long small leaves, while ‘Laguna Blue Ice’ has larger, rounder, and broader leaves. Additionally, ‘Lob Bule’ has intense blue flowers, while ‘Laguna Blue Ice’ has less intense blue flowers with a very large white eye (or white center).
