Abstract

A new plant variety of Aster tataricus characterized by its late spring to early summer bloom season, the distinct violet cast of its ray florets and its compactness, reaching a mature height of 40 to 50 cms tall in flower.

Description

Botanical classification: Aster tataricus L. ‘Blue Lake Blim’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of Aster tataricus L. f., which was developed in a controlled breeding program in Kobuchizawa, Gumma Prefecture, Japan by Mr. Shoji Hatano. The varietal denomination of the new variety is ‘Blue Lake Blim’.
The genus Aster is included in the family Compositae that comprises about 1,300 genera and 21,000 species of herbs, sometimes shrubs, or occasionally trees in tropics, mostly temperate in origin. Aster comprises approximately 250 species of mainly herbaceous perennials, though some annuals and biennials, originating in South America, Eurasia, Africa and Asia, many of which possess desirable ornamental characteristics.
Aster tataricus is an extremely variable clumping to rhizomatus perennial native to Japan, Korea, Manchuria, northern China, Mongolia and Siberia. It is typically about 2 meters tall.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The new variety was discovered in a controlled breeding program and differs from its parents by its late spring to early summer bloom season, the distinct violet cast of its ray florets and its compactness, reaching a mature height of 40 to 50 cms tall in flower. Aster tataricus ‘Blue Lake Blim’ differs from Aster tataricus ‘Blue Lake’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 15,775) by being 20% shorter, blooming two weeks later and violet flower color. Asexual reproduction of the new variety by division and flower stem cuttings, performed in Kobuchizawa, Gumma Prefecture, Japan have confirmed that the distinctive characteristics of the new variety are stable and transmitted to succeeding generations, and the new variety reproduces true to type.
COMPARISON WITH PARENTS
‘Blue Lake Blim’ is distinguished from its parents and all other varieties of Aster tataricus of which I am aware by its spring to early summer bloom season, the distinct violet cast of its ray florets and its compactness, reaching a mature height of 40 to 50 cms tall in flower.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATION
The accompanying illustration shows a plant of the new cultivar showing the colors as true as is reasonably possible to make in an illustration of this character. The photographic illustration depicts a plant of the new cultivar.
 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW VARIETY
‘Blue Lake Blim’ has not been observed under all possible environmental, cultural and light conditions. The following observations and descriptions are of approximately one-year-old plants in 1-gallon nursery containers, grown in Kitakoma-gun, Yamanashi, Japan. In this description, color references are to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (2001) and terminology used in the color descriptions herein refers to plate numbers in this color chart. Phenotypic expression may vary with light intensity, cultural and environmental conditions.
