Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Argyranthemum plant named ‘Dansun’, characterized by its compact, upright and rounded plant habit; freely branching habit; dense and bushy plant habit; freely flowering habit with numerous inflorescences per plant; and large daisy-type inflorescences with bright yellow-colored ray florets and golden yellow-colored disc florets.
Description
Botanical designation: Argyranthemum frutescens.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Dansun’.
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 ‘Dansun’.
The new Argyranthemum is a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of the Argyranthemum frutescens cultivar Tanja, not patented. The new Argyranthemum was discovered and selected as a single plant from within a population of plants of the cultivar Tanja in a controlled environment in Aarslev, Denmark in 1999.
Asexual reproduction of the new Argyranthemum by terminal cuttings in a controlled environment in Aarslev, Denmark since 2000, 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 ‘Dansun’ and distinguish the new Argyranthemum as a new and distinct cultivar:
-
- 1. Compact, upright and rounded plant habit.
- 2. Freely branching habit, dense and bushy plants.
- 3. Freely flowering habit with numerous inflorescences per plant.
- 4. Large daisy-type inflorescences with bright yellow-colored ray florets and golden yellow-colored disc florets.
Plants of the new Argyranthemum differ from plants of the parent, the cultivar Tanja in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Argyranthemum are more compact than plants of the cultivar Tanja.
- 2. Plants of the new Argyranthemum are more freely branching than plants of the cultivar Tanja.
- 3. Plants of the new Argyranthemum have stronger leaves than plants of the cultivar Tanja.
- 4. Plants of the new Argyranthemum have larger inflorescences than plants of the cultivar Tanja.
Plants of the new Argyranthemum can be compared to plants of the cultivar Lemon Delight, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,774. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Encinitas, Calif., plants of the new Argyranthemum were more compact, had smaller leaves and larger inflorescences than plants of the cultivar Lemon Delight. In addition, plants of the new Argyranthemum and the cultivar Lemon Delight differed in ray floret coloration.
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 ‘Dansun’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a close-up view of typical inflorescences of ‘Dansun’.
The aforementioned photographs, following observations and averaged measurements describe plants grown in Encinitas, Calif., in an outdoor nursery under full sunlight during the spring and summer with day temperatures averaging 24° C., night temperatures averaging ranging from 19° C. and light levels about 4,000 foot-candles. Plants were grown in 15-cm containers. Plants had been growing for about 15 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.
