Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Sedum plant named ‘Bronco’, characterized by its upright and compact plant habit; freely basal branching growth habit; relatively short peduncles; and yellow green-colored flowers.

Description

Botanical designation: Sedum telephium.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Bronco’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present Invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Sedum plant, botanically known as Sedum telephium, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Bronco’.
The new Sedum is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Rijpwetering, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program is to develop new compact Sedum cultivars with uniform growth habit and attractive flower coloration.
The new Sedum originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in 2001 of the Sedum telephium cultivar Green Explanation, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with the Sedum telephium cultivar Joy, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Sedum 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 Rijpwetering, The Netherlands in 2002.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings taken at Rijpwetering, The Netherlands, since 2003, has shown that the unique features of this new Sedum are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the cultivar Bronco 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 ‘Bronco’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Bronco’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
    • 1. Upright and compact plant habit.
    • 2. Freely basal branching growth habit.
    • 3. Relatively short peduncles.
    • 4. Yellow green-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Sedum can be compared to plants of the female parent, the cultivar Green Explanation. Plants of the new Sedum differ from plants of the cultivar Green Explanation in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Sedum are more compact than plants of the cultivar Green Explanation.
    • 2. Plants of the new Sedum and the cultivar Green Explanation differ in flower color.
Plants of the new Sedum can be compared to plants of the male parent, the cultivar Joy. Plants of the new Sedum differ from plants of the cultivar Joy primarily in plant height as plants of the new Sedum are more compact than plants of the cultivar Joy.
Plants of the new Sedum can also be compared to plants of the Sedum telephinum cultivar Lajos, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 14,421. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Rijpwetering, The Netherlands, plants of the new Sedum differed from plants of the cultivar Lajos in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Sedum were more compact than plants of the cultivar Lajos.
    • 2. Plants of the new Sedum and the cultivar Lajos differed in leaf coloration as plants of the Lajos had variegated leaves.
    • 3. Plants of the new Sedum and the cultivar Lajos differed in flower coloration as plants of the cultivar Lajos had purple-colored flowers.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate 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 photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which more accurately describe the actual colors of the new Sedum.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Bronco’ grown in a container.
The photograph in the center of the sheet comprises a close-up view of typical inflorescences of ‘Bronco’.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet is a close-up view of the upper surface of a typical leaf of ‘Bronco’.
