Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Osteospermum plant named ‘Wesosora’, characterized by its upright, compact and mounded plant habit; freely branching habit; freely and continuous flowering habit; and inflorescences with bright orange-colored ray florets.
Description
Botanical designation: Osteospermum ecklonis.
Botanical denomination: ‘Wesosora’.
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Osteospermum plant, botanically known as Osteospermum ecklonis, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Wesosora’.
The new Osteospermum is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Südlohn, Germany. The objective of the breeding program was to create new compact and freely flowering Osteospermum cultivars with attractive inflorescences.
The new Osteospermum originated from a cross-pollination in 2002 of a proprietary Osteospermum ecklonis selection identified as code number 02P05, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary Osteospermum ecklonis selection identified as code number 02P25, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Osteospermum was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination grown in a controlled environment in Südlohn, Germany.
Asexual reproduction of the new Osteospermum by terminal vegetative cuttings was first conducted in Südlohn, Germany in 2003. Asexual reproduction by cuttings has shown that the unique features of this new Osteospermum are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The cultivar Wesosora 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 ‘Wesosora’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Wesosora’ as a new and distinct Osteospermum:
-
- 1. Upright, compact and mounded plant habit.
- 2. Freely branching habit.
- 3. Freely and continuous flowering habit.
- 4. Inflorescences with bright orange-colored ray florets.
Plants of the new Osteospermum differ from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Osteospermum are more compact than plants of the female parent selection.
- 2. Plants of the new Osteospermum have broader leaves than plants of the female parent selection.
- 3. Plants of the new Osteospermum are more freely flowering than plants of the female parent selection.
Plants of the new Osteospermum differ from plants of the male parent selection in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Osteospermum are more freely branching than plants of the male parent selection.
- 2. Plants of the new Osteospermum and the male parent selection differ in ray floret coloration as plants of the male parent have white to light yellow-colored ray florets.
Plants of the new Osteospermum can be compared to plants of the cultivar Sumost 02, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 15,975. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Osteospermum differed from plants of the cultivar Sumost 02 in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Osteospermum were more compact than plants of the cultivar Sumost 02.
- 2. Plants of the new Osteospermum were more freely branching than plants of the cultivar Sumost 02.
- 3. Plants of the new Osteospermum had broader and lighter green-colored foliage than plants of the cultivar Sumost 02.
- 4. Plants of the new Osteospermum had smaller inflorescences with fewer ray florets than plants of the cultivar Sumost 02.
Plants of the new Osteospermum can also be compared to plants of the cultivar Sumost 01, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 15,296. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Osteospermum differed from plants of the cultivar Sumost 01 in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Osteospermum were more compact than plants of the cultivar Sumost 01.
- 2. Plants of the new Osteospermum were more freely branching than plants of the cultivar Sumost 01.
- 3. Plants of the new Osteospermum had lighter green-colored foliage than plants of the cultivar Sumost 01.
- 4. Plants of the new Osteospermum had smaller inflorescences with fewer ray and disc florets than plants of the cultivar Sumost 01.
- 5. Plants of the new Osteospermum and the cultivar Sumost 01 differed in ray floret coloration as plants of the cultivar Sumost 01 had yellow-colored ray florets.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Osteospermum showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Osteospermum.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Wesosora’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet is a close-up view of a typical inflorescence of ‘Wesosora’.
The new Osteospermum 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 aforementioned photograph, following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Südlohn, Germany in a glass-covered greenhouse during the spring and summer and under commercial production practices. Plants were about 20 weeks from planting rooted young plants when the photographs and description were taken. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 20° C. to 25° C. and night temperatures ranged from 16° C. to 18° C. Plants were pinched one time about three to four weeks after planting. 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.
