Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Verbena plant named ‘Balazdapima’ characterized by its dark pink-colored flowers, medium green-colored foliage, good basal branching, and compact, spreading growth habit.
Description
Latin name of genus and species of plant claimed: Verbena×hybrida.
Variety denomination: ‘Balazdapima’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Verbena plant botanically known as Verbena×hybrida and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Balazdapima’.
The new cultivar originated in a controlled breeding program in Guadalupe, Calif. during 2002. The object of the breeding program was the development of Verbena cultivars with attractive flower coloration, continuous flowering, small, dark green-colored foliage, excellent basal branching, and a spreading trailing growth habit.
The female (seed) parent of the new cultivar was the proprietary Verbena×hybrida breeding selection designated 905-5, not patented, characterized by its burgundy-colored flowers, and compact, well-branched growth habit. The male (pollen) parent of the new cultivar was the proprietary Verbena×hybrida breeding selection designated 957-4, not patented, characterized by its burgundy-colored flowers, and compact, well-branched growth habit. The new Verbena was discovered and selected by the inventor as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the above stated cross-pollination during the spring of 2003 in a controlled environment at Rijsenhout, the Netherlands.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal stem cuttings since the spring of 2003 at Rijsenhout, the Netherlands and West Chicago, Ill. has demonstrated that the new cultivar reproduces true to type with all characteristics, as herein described, firmly fixed and retained through successive generations of such asexual propagation.
The following characteristics of the new cultivar have been repeatedly observed and can be used to distinguish ‘Balazdapima’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Verbena plant:
-
- 1. Dark pink-colored flowers;
- 2. Medium green-colored foliage;
- 3. Good basal branching; and
- 4. Compact, spreading growth habit.
Plants of the new cultivar differ from plants of the female parent primarily in flower color and from plants of the male parent primarily in flower color.
Of the many commercially available Verbena cultivars known to the inventor, the most similar in comparison to the new cultivar is ‘Balwilrose’, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 12,927. However, in side by side comparisons, plants of the new cultivar differ from plants of ‘Balwilrose’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new cultivar are shorter than plants of ‘Balwilrose’;
- 2. Plants of the new cultivar are wider than plants of ‘Balwilrose’; and
- 3. Plants of the new cultivar have smaller inflorescences than plants of ‘Balwilrose’.
The accompanying photographs show, as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to make the same in color illustrations of this type, typical flower and foliage characteristics of the new cultivar. Colors in the photographs differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed description, which accurately describes the colors of ‘Balazdapima’. The plants were grown in 10 cm pots for 13 weeks in a greenhouse at West Chicago, Ill.
The new cultivar has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions to date. Accordingly, it is possible that the phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in the environment, such as temperature, light intensity, and day length, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The chart used in the identification of colors described herein is The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society, London, England, 2001 edition, except where general color terms of ordinary significance are used. The color values were determined on Apr. 25, 2005 between 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. under natural light conditions, in West Chicago, Ill.
The following descriptions and measurements describe plants produced from cuttings taken from stock plants and grown in a double polycarbonate-covered greenhouse under conditions comparable to those used in commercial practice. The plants were grown at West Chicago, Ill. in 10 cm pots for 13 weeks utilizing a soilless growth medium. Greenhouse temperatures were maintained at approximately 70° F. to 80° F. (21° C. to 26° C.) during the day and approximately 62° F. to 65° F. (17° C. to 18° C.) during the night. Greenhouse light levels of 5,000 to 8,000 footcandles were maintained during the day.
