Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Echinacea plant named ‘Evan Saul’, characterized by its upright and columnar plant habit; vigorous and freely branching growth habit; inflorescences with orange-colored ray florets and dark purple-colored receptacle spines; and good garden performance.
Description
Botanical designation: Echinacea hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Evan Saul’.
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Echinacea plant, botanically known as Echinacea hybrida, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Evan Saul’.
The new Echinacea is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Dahlonega, Ga. The objective of the breeding program is to develop new Echinacea cultivars with large inflorescences with and unique ray floret coloration.
The new Echinacea originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in August, 2002 of two unnamed Echinacea hybrida selections, not patented. The new Echinacea was discovered and selected as a single flowering plant by the Inventor in a controlled environment in Dahlonega, Ga. in June, 2003 from the resultant progeny of the stated cross-pollination. The new Echinacea was selected on the basis of its unique ray floret coloration.
Asexual reproduction of the new Echinacea by tissue culture was first conducted in Chamblee, Ga. in August, 2003. Since then, asexual reproduction by tissue culture has shown that the unique features of this new Echinacea are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The cultivar Evan Saul 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 traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Evan Saul’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Evan Saul’ as a new and distinct Echinacea:
-
- 1. Upright and columnar plant habit.
- 2. Vigorous and freely branching growth habit.
- 3. Inflorescences with orange-colored ray florets and dark purple-colored receptacle spines.
- 4. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Echinacea differ primarily from plants of the parental selections in ray floret coloration.
Plants of the new Echinacea can be compared to plants of the Echinacea cultivar Sunset, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 16,424. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Dahlonega, Ga., plants of the new Echinacea differed from plants of the cultivar Sunset in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Leaves of plants of the new Echinacea were larger and smoother than leaves of plants of the cultivar Sunset.
- 2. Plants of the new Echinacea had smaller discs than plants of the cultivar Sunset.
- 3. Plants of the new Echinacea and the cultivar Sunset differed in ray floret coloration as plants of the cultivar Sunset had darker orange-colored ray florets.
- 4. Ray florets of plants of the new Echinacea were not as recurved as ray florets of plants of the cultivar Sunset.
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new Echinacea showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photograph may differ from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Echinacea. The photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Evan Saul’.
The aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Dahlonega, Ga., in an outdoor nursery under full sun conditions during the summer. When the plants were about eight months old, the photographs, observations and measurements were taken. Plants used for the detailed description were grown in one-gallon containers. At that time, day temperatures averaged 29° C. and night temperatures averaged 21° C. Color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
