Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Scabiosa plant named ‘Grand Stone’, characterized by its upright and somewhat outwardly spreading plant habit; large inflorescences with violet blue-colored flowers; and good garden performance.
Description
Botanical designation: Scabiosa caucasica.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Grand Stone’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Scabiosa, botanically known as Scabiosa caucasica and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Grand Stone’.
The new Scabiosa is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Voorhout, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program was to create new Scabiosa cultivars with large blue-colored inflorescences.
The new Scabiosa originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in 2000 in Voorhout, The Netherlands, of the Scabiosa caucasica cultivar Clive Greaves, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with an unnamed selection of Scabiosa caucasica, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Scabiosa was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Voorhout, The Netherlands in 2001.
Asexual reproduction of the new Scabiosa by micro cuttings in a controlled environment in Voorhout, The Netherlands since 2001, has shown that the unique features of this new Scabiosa are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The cultivar Grand Stone has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment and cultural practices 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 ‘Grand Stone’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Grand Stone’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Scabiosa:
-
- 1. Upright and somewhat outwardly spreading plant habit.
- 2. Large inflorescences with violet blue-colored flowers.
- 3. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Scabiosa differ from plants of the female parent, the cultivar Clive Greaves, primarily in inflorescence size as plants of the new Scabiosa have larger inflorescences than plants of the cultivar Clive Greaves. Plants of the new Scabiosa differ from plants of the male parent selection primarily in inflorescence color as plants of the male parent selection have white-colored inflorescences.
Plants of the new Scabiosa can be compared to plants of the cultivar Ultra Violet, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 14,038. Plants of the new Scabiosa differ from plants of the cultivar Ultra Violet primarily in inflorescence color as plants of the cultivar Ultra Violet have darker-colored inflorescences.
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the unique 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 from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Scabiosa. The photograph is a close-up view of typical inflorescences of ‘Grand Stone’.
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. Plants used in the aforementioned photographs and in the following description were grown in Voorhout, The Netherlands, in an outdoor nursery and under conditions which closely approximate commercial production conditions. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 14° C. to 32° C. and night temperatures ranged from 6° C. to 14° C. Plants of the new Scabiosa were one year old when the photographs and description were taken during the late summer.
