Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Ageratum plant named ‘Sage85015’, characterized by its tall, upright and mounded plant habit; freely branching habit; dense and bushy plant habit; dark green-colored leaves; very freely flowering habit with numerous inflorescences per plant; and inflorescences rayless with violet-colored disc florets.
Description
Botanical designation: Ageratum houstonianum.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Sage85015’.
Ageratum Plant Named ‘Sage00591’; Diony de Bont, Applicant; disclosed in U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 11/146,229.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Ageratum plant, botanically known as Ageratum houstonianum and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Sage85015’.
The new Ageratum is a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of the Ageratum houstonianum cultivar Red Top, not patented. The new Ageratum was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a plant within a population of plants of the cultivar Red Top in a controlled environment in Ter Aar, The Netherlands in 2001. The selection of the new Ageratum was based on its compact plant habit, strong plant growth, large inflorescences and attractive floret coloration.
Asexual reproduction of the new Ageratum by terminal cuttings in a controlled environment in Ter Aar, The Netherlands since October, 2002, has shown that the unique features of the new Ageratum are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The new Ageratum 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 ‘Sage85015’ and distinguish the new Ageratum as a new and distinct cultivar:
-
- 1. Tall, upright and mounded plant habit.
- 2. Freely branching habit; dense and bushy plants.
- 3. Dark green-colored leaves.
- 4. Very freely flowering habit with numerous inflorescences per plant.
- 5. Inflorescences rayless with violet-colored disc florets.
Plants of the new Ageratum differ from plants of the parent, the cultivar Red Top, in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Ageratum were more uniform than plants of the cultivar Red Top.
- 2. Plants of the new Ageratum had larger inflorescences than plants of the cultivar Red Top.
- 3. Plants of the new Ageratum and the cultivar Red Top differed in disc floret coloration.
Plants of the new Ageratum differ from plants of the cultivar Sage00591, disclosed in U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 11/146,229, primarily in disc floret coloration.
Plants of the new Ageratum can be compared to plants of the cultivar Blue Hawaii, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Encinitas, Calif., plants of the new Ageratum differed from plants of the cultivar Blue Hawaii in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Ageratum were taller and more vigorous than plants of the cultivar Blue Hawaii.
- 2. Plants of the new Ageratum were stronger and had thicker lateral branches than plants of the cultivar Blue Hawaii.
- 3. Plants of the new Ageratum had larger inflorescences than plants of the cultivar Blue Hawaii.
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 Ageratum.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Sage85015’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a close-up view of typical inflorescences of ‘Sage85015’.
The aforementioned photographs, following observations and averaged measurements describe plants grown in Encinitas, Calif., in an outdoor nursery under full sunlight during the summer and fall with day temperatures averaging 27° C. and night temperatures averaging 16° C. Plants were grown in 13-cm containers. Plants were pinched one time. Plants had been growing for about four months 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.
