Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Osteospermum plant named ‘Sunny Antique Serena’ characterized by its unique color combinations on the upper and undersides of its ray florets: (upperside) when opening—RHS 5C to RHS 5D, yellow and when fully opened—RHS 11D, yellow; (underside) when opening and when fully opened—longitudinal stripes of alternating gray-orange colors, RHS N163A and RHS N163B, gray-orange; upright, compact and globular plant habit; dense and bushy growth habit, mainly due to upright stems; moderately vigorous growth habit, but less need for chemical growth retardation; and high number of inflorescences per plant.
Description
Botanical designation: Osteospermum ecklonis.
Variety denomination: ‘Sunny Antique Serena’.
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Osteospermum plant, botanically known as Osteospermum ecklonis (DC) T. Norl., commonly known as Cape Daisy and hereinafter referred to by the variety denomination ‘Sunny Antique Serena’.
The new Osteospermum cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor, Bjarne Nyholm Larsen, in Stige, Denmark. The objective of the breeding program is to create new compact Osteospermums with continuous flowering, good postproduction longevity and attractive inflorescence coloration.
The new Osteospermum cultivar originated as a naturally occurring whole plant mutation found as a single plant in a production batch of Osteospermum ecklonis (DC) T. Norl. designated ‘Sunny Serena’ (patented, and disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 15,693 and CPVO Registration Number 10371) in March of 2002 in Stige, Denmark. The new Osteospermum cultivar originated from a naturally occurring mutation found in a production batch of Osteospermum ecklonis (DC) T. Norl. designated ‘Sunny Serena’ in March of 2002 in Stige, Denmark. The Inventor selected the new Osteospermum cultivar in June of 2002 on the basis of its attractive inflorescence color, good postproduction longevity, continuous flowering and upright, compact, freely branching growth habit.
Asexual reproduction of the new Osteospermum cultivar by terminal cuttings taken and propagated at trial production batches in Stige, Denmark, since 2003 has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for the new cultivar are firmly fixed and retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction. The new Osteospermum cultivar reproduces true-to-type.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Sunny Antique Serena’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Sunny Antique Serena’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
-
- 1. Unique color combination of upper and underside of ray florets: (upperside) when opening—RHS 5C to RHS 5D, yellow and when fully opened—RHS 11D, yellow; (underside) when opening and when fully opened—longitudinal stripes of alternating gray-orange colors, RHS N163A and RHS N163B, gray-orange;
- 2. Upright, compact and globular plant habit;
- 3. Dense and bushy growth habit, mainly due to upright stems;
- 4. Moderately vigorous growth habit, but less need for chemical growth retardation; and
- 5. High number of inflorescences per plant.
Plants of the Osteospermum cultivar ‘Sunny Antique Serena’ and plants of the cultivar ‘Sunny Serena’ differ in inflorescence color. Plants of ‘Sunny Antique Serena’ have a color combination of yellow to gray-orange ray florets with dark gray-green disc florets, whereas plants of ‘Sunny Serena’ have a color combination of gray-orange, gray-yellow, yellow-white and yellow ray florets with silvery gray and gray white disc florets.
Of the many commercial cultivars known to the Inventor, the most similar in comparison to the Osteospermum cultivar ‘Sunny Antique Serena’ is the cultivar ‘Sunny Serena’ (patented, and disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 15,693 and CPVO Registration Number 10371).
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Osteospermum cultivar ‘Sunny Antique Serena’ showing the colors as true as is reasonably possible with 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 color of the new Osteospermum cultivar ‘Sunny Antique Serena’.
The first photograph (FIG. 1 ) shows a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Sunny Antique Serena’ as grown in an 11 cm pot.
The second photograph (FIG. 2 ) shows a side perspective view of numerous plants of ‘Sunny Antique Serena’ as grown in a large display pot.
Plants of the new Osteospermum cultivar ‘Sunny Antique Serena’ have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity, daylength, and fertility level without any variance in the genotype of the plant.
The aforementioned photographs, together with the following observations, measurements and values describe plants of the new Osteospermum cultivar ‘Sunny Antique Serena’ as grown in a heated and lighted, glass-covered greenhouse in Fyn, Denmark, under conditions which closely approximate those generally used in commercial practice. Plants of the new Osteospermum cultivar ‘Sunny Antique Serena’ were grown in natural long days with 15 to 20 hours of daylight. Chlormequat treatments 3×0.5% drench were also used when growing ‘Sunny Antique Serena’.
The age of the ‘Sunny Antique Serena’ plants described is 20 weeks old after cutting and grown in 11 cm pots. The photographs and descriptions were taken during the spring season when outdoor day temperatures range from 16 to 22° C. and when outdoor night average temperature range from 16 to 18° C.
Color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (R.H.S.), 4th ed., except where general colors of ordinary significance are used.
