Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Myosotis plant named ‘Unforgettable’, characterized by its outwardly spreading to prostrate plant habit; freely branching growth habit; variegated leaves; and numerous bright blue-colored flowers.
Description
Botanical designation: Myosotis palustris.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Unforgettable’.
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Myosotis plant, botanically known as Myosotis palustris, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Unforgettable’.
The new Myosotis is a naturally-occurring branch mutation of an unnamed selection of Myosotis palustris, not patented. The new Myosotis was discovered and selected by the Inventor in December, 1998 from within a population of plants of the parent selection in a controlled environment in Blaine, Minn.
Asexual reproduction of the new Myosotis by terminal cuttings in Blaine, Minn. since January, 1999, has shown that the unique features of this new Myosotis are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Unforgettable’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Unforgettable’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
-
- 1. Outwardly spreading to prostrate plant habit.
- 2. Freely branching growth habit.
- 3. Variegated leaves.
- 4. Numerous bright blue-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Myosotis differ from plants of the parent selection primarily in leaf coloration as plants of the parent selection do not have variegated leaves.
Plants of the new Myosotis can be compared to plants of the Myosotis palustris cultivar Snowflakes, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in north central Texas, plants of the new Myosotis differed from plants of the cultivar Snowflakes in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Myosotis had variegated leaves whereas plants of the cultivar Snowflakes had solid green-colored leaves.
- 2. Plants of the new Myosotis and the cultivar Snowflakes differed in flower color as plants of the cultivar Snowflakes had white-colored flowers.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Myosotis, 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 colors of the new Myosotis.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a top perspective view of typical plants of ‘Unforgettable’ grown in an outdoor nursery.
The photograph at the middle of the sheet is a close-up view of a typical plant of ‘Unforgettable’.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet is a close-up view of typical leaves of ‘Unforgettable’.
The new Myosotis has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, daylength and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The aforementioned photographs, following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Hillegom, The Netherlands, in an outdoor nursery and under commercial production practices. Plants were about two years old when the photographs and description were taken. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 18° C. to 32° C. and night temperatures ranged from 8° C. to 16° C. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2001 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
