Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Petunia plant named ‘Petspebl’ characterized by its trailing, outwardly spreading and mounded plant habit, freely branching habit, freely flowering habit, single flowers that have several shades of blue color in the flower with a light throat with dark venation, and good garden performance.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed: Petunia hybrida.
Varietal denomination: ‘Petspebl’.
BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Petunia plant botanically known as Petunia hybrida and referred to by the cultivar name ‘Petspebl.’
The new Petunia is the product of a planned breeding program conducted by the inventor in Enkhuizen, Netherlands. The new Petunia cultivar is freely flowering with trailing and spreading habit and attractive leaf and flower coloration.
The new Petunia is the F6 of a proprietary selection of Petunia hybrida identified as code number ‘A 5015-1,’ not patented. The new Petunia was selected as a single plant from the resulting progeny of the self-pollination which took place in June 1999 in a controlled environment in Cambridge, United Kingdom. The parent ‘A5015-1’ is no longer available.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal vegetative cuttings since May 2000, in Enkhuizen, Netherlands has shown that the unique features of this new Petunia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the cultivar ‘Petspebl’ have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity and daylength without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Petspebl.’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Petspebl’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
    • 1. Trailing, outwardly spreading and mounded plant habit
    • 2. Freely branching habit
    • 3. Freely flowering habit
    • 4. Single flowers that have several shades of blue color in the flower with a light throat with dark venation
    • 5. Good garden performance
Plants of the new Petunia ‘Petspebl’ differed from the plants of the Petunia cultivar Surfina blue (‘Sunblu’), not patented, in size and shape of the flowers. The flowers of the new Petunia are smaller than the flowers of Surfina blue and the petals of the new Petunia are more round whereas the petals of Surfina blue are more pointed.
Plants of the new Petunia differ from the Petunia cultivar Petitunia Blue Dream (‘Danpetbl’), not patented, in the color pattern of the flowers. The flowers of the new cultivar have several shades of blue and a light throat with a dark venation whereas the flowers of Petitunia Blue Dream are a plain blue.
The parents were never identified nor are they available for comparison.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates 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 photograph may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Petunia.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW CULTIVAR
The observations and measurements describe plants grown in Enkhuizen, The Netherlands, practice circumstances outdoor in windowboxes during the summer with day temperatures ranging from 18 to 25° C. and night temperatures ranging from 10 to 14° C. Plants used for the photographs and description were about 12 weeks from planting rooted cuttings.
