Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Coreopsis plant named ‘Balcorsunay’ characterized by its medium size golden-colored flowers, medium green-colored foliage, and vigorous, upright growth habit.
Description
Latin name of genus and species of plant claimed: Coreopsis grandiflora.
Variety denomination: ‘Balcorsunay’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Coreopsis plant botanically known as Coreopsis grandiflora and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Balcorsunay’.
The new cultivar originated in a controlled breeding program in Santa Paula, Calif. during October 1999. The objective of the breeding program was the development of Coreopsis cultivars with large flowers, continuous flowering, and increased plant size.
The female (seed) parent of the new cultivar was the proprietary Coreopsis grandiflora breeding selection designated 62044-2, not patented, characterized its by single gold-colored flowers with a red base and mounded growth habit. The male (pollen) parent of the new cultivar was ‘Walcoreop’, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,299, characterized by its single gold-colored flowers and compact mounded growth habit. The new Coreopsis was discovered and selected by the inventor as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the above stated cross-pollination during August 2001 in a controlled environment at Santa Paula, Calif.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal stem cuttings since August 2001 at Santa Paula, Calif. 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 ‘Balcorsunay’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Coreopsis plant:
-
- 1. Medium size golden-colored flowers;
- 2. Medium green-colored foliage; and
- 3. Vigorous, upright growth habit.
Plants of the new cultivar differ from plants of the female parent primarily in flower color and growth habit and from plants of the male parent primarily in growth habit.
Of the many commercially available Coreopsis cultivars known to the inventor, the most similar in comparison to the new cultivar is ‘Walcoreop’, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,299. However, in side by side comparisons, plants of the new cultivar differ from plants of ‘Walcoreop’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new cultivar have smaller inflorescences than plants of ‘Walcoreop’;
- 2. Plants of the new cultivar have more compact growth habit than plants of ‘Walcoreop’; and
- 3. Plants of the new cultivar have flowers of a darker color than plants of ‘Walcoreop’.
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 ‘Balcorsunay’. The plants were grown in 10 cm pots for 6 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 Aug. 24, 2005, 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 6 weeks utilizing a soilless growth medium. Greenhouse temperatures were maintained at approximately 65° F. to 75° F. (18° C. to 24° C.) during the day and approximately 60° F. to 65° F. (15° C. to 18° C.) during the night. Greenhouse light levels of 6,000 to 9,000 footcandles were maintained during the day.
