Abstract
An achillea plant particularly distinguished by numerous small, while, double flowers, medium green foliage with narrow leaves, a compact, low-spreading and mounding habit, vigorous with abundant branching, immature flowering stems that obscure the mature stems with spent flowers and good outdoor performance with good heat tolerance, is disclosed.
Description
Genus and species: Achillea ptarmica L.
Variety denomination: ‘Gipi Whit’
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of achilea, botanically known as Achillea ptarmica L. and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Gipi Whit’. Seed of the achillea variety ‘The Pearl’ (unpatented) which is an open-pollinated, seed propagated variety was sown in April 2003 and grown in Gilroy, Calif. in an evaluation field. A single plant selection was made in August 2003 from the resulting plants and asexually propagated.
The new cultivar was created in August 2003 in Gilroy, Calif. and has been asexually reproduced repeatedly by vegetative cuttings and tissue culture in Gilroy, Calif. and Moncarapacho, Portugal over a two-year period. The plant has also been trialed at Hillscheid, Germany. The present invention has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive asexual propagations.
Plant Breeder's Rights for this cultivar have been applied for in Canada on Oct. 17, 2005 and with the European Union on Oct. 14, 2005.
The following are the most outstanding and distinguishing characteristics of the new cultivar when grown under normal horticultural practices in Hillscheid, Germany.
-
- 1. Numerous small, white, double flowers;
- 2. Medium green foliage with narrow leaves;
- 3. A compact, low-spreading and mounding habit;
- 4. Vigorous with abundant branching;
- 5. Immature flowering stems that obscure the mature stems with spent flowers; and
- 6. Good outdoor performance with good heat tolerance.
This new achillea plant is illustrated by the accompanying photographs which show overall plant habit including blooms, buds and foliage of the plant; the colors shown are as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures. The photos are of plants grown in a greenhouse in Hillscheid, Germany in a Spring trial setting.
The following detailed descriptions set forth the distinctive characteristics of ‘Gipi Whit’. The data which define these characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried out in Hillscheid, Germany. The plant history was taken on 7- to 8-week-old plants, pinched once, and grown in 12-cm pots in a greenhouse in Hillscheid, Germany in July and August 2005. Observations were made in mid-May 2005. Color readings were taken in the greenhouse in mid-May 2005 under natural light. Color references are primarily to the R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London (RHS) (2001 edition).
