BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Diascia plant, botanically known as Diascia hybrida, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name KLEDI04016.
The new Diascia is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Stuttgart, Germany. The objective of the breeding program is to create new upright and freely branching Diascias with numerous attractive flowers, and good garden performance.
The new Diascia originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in 2003 of an unnamed proprietary seedling of Diascia hybrida, not patented, as the female, or seed parent, with a proprietary seedling of Diascia hybrida identified as code number SG 3, not patented, as the male, or pollen parent. The new Diascia was selected as a single plant from the resulting progeny of the cross-pollination by the Inventor in November, 2003, in an controlled environment in Stuttgart, Germany.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings in a controlled environment in Stuttgart, Germany since November, 2003, has shown that the unique features of this new Diascia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the cultivar KLEDI04016 have 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 ‘KLEDI04016’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘KLEDI04016’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Diascia:
    • 1. Compact, upright and somewhat outwardly spreading plant habit.
    • 2. Freely branching habit.
    • 3. Freely flowering habit.
    • 4. Pink-colored flowers.
    • 3. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Diascia differ from plants of the parent selections primarily in plant form as plants of the new Diascia are more uniform than plants of the parent selections.
Plants of the new Diascia differ primarily from plants of the cultivar KLEDI04015, disclosed in a U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 11/343,879 filed concurrently; the cultivar KLEDI04017, disclosed in a U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 11/343,873 filed concurrently; and the cultivar KLEDI04018, disclosed in a U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 11/343,862 filed concurrently, primarily in flower color.
Plants of the new Diascia can be compared to plants of the cultivar Kiedione, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 15,564. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Diascia differ from plants of the cultivar Kiedione primarily in plant habit as plants of the cultivar Kiedione are more trailing. In addition, flower color of plants of the new Diascia is darker pink than flower color of plants of the cultivar Kiedione.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
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 Diascia. The photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘KLEDI04016’ grown in a container.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photograph and following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Stuttgart, Germany, in an outdoor nursery during the summer with day temperatures ranging from 20° C. to 35° C., night temperatures ranging from 10° C. to 20° C., and light levels about 20,000 lux. Plants were grown for about 6.5 months in containers and pinched two times. Color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
