Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Persicaria plant named ‘Fat Domino’, characterized by its upright and outwardly spreading plant habit; dark red purple-colored flowers on long racemes; freely and continuous flowering habit; and good garden performance.

Description

Botanical designation: Persicaria amplexicaulis.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Fat Domino’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Persicaria plant, botanically known as Persicaria amplexicaulis, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name Fat Domino.
The new Persicaria is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Oedelem (Beernem), Belgium. The objective of the breeding program was to create new Persicaria cultivars with attractive flower coloration.
The new Persicaria originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in 2001 in Oedelem (Beernem), Belgium of an unnamed selection of Persicaria amplexicaulis, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with an unnamed selection of Persicaria amplexicaulis, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Persicaria was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Oedelem (Beernem), Belgium during the summer of 2002.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by cuttings at Oedelem (Beernem), Belgium since 2002, has shown that the unique features of this new Persicaria are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the cultivar Fat Domino have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature and light level without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Fat Domino’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Fat Domino’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Persicaria:
    • 1. Upright and outwardly spreading plant habit.
    • 2. Dark red purple-colored flowers on long racemes.
    • 3. Freely and continuous flowering habit.
    • 4. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Persicaria differ primarily from plants of the parent selections in flower color as plants of the parent selections have lighter red-colored flowers. In addition, plants of the new Persicaria have larger inflorescences than plants of the female parent selection and a stronger, more upright plant habit than plants of the male parent selection.
Plants of the new Persicaria can be compared to the Persicaria amplexicaulis cultivar Taurus, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,682. Plants of the new differ from plants of the cultivar Taurus in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Persicaria have darker green-colored leaves than plants of the cultivar Taurus.
    • 2. Plants of the new Persicaria have longer racemes than plants of the cultivar Taurus.
    • 3. Plants of the new Persicaria have darker-colored flowers than plants of the cultivar Taurus.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
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 actual colors of the new Persicaria.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Fat Domino’.
The photograph at the top of the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical inflorescence of ‘Fat Domino’.
The photograph at the bottom of the second sheet is a close-up view of the upper surface of a typical leaf of ‘Fat Domino’.
