Abstract
A new and distinct Penstemon plant characterized by deep pink flowers on numerous, very short, flowering stems, and with a compact habit.
Description
Botanical classification: Penstemon spp.
Variety denomination: ‘Coral Carpet’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of a suffrutescent perennial, Penstemon hybrid, and is given the cultivar name, ‘Coral Carpet’. Penstemon are in the family Scrophulariaceae. This new cultivar which originated as an open pollinated seedling from Penstemon ‘Pink Chablis’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,422) progeny. Selections had been made yearly to improve the habit by making it more compact as well as to increase the bloom number, the number of inflorescences, and to reduce the height of the flower stalks.
This new cultivar is characterized by:
-
- 1) Deep pink flowers.
- 2) High flower number on a tight inflorescence.
- 3) Persistent basal foliage with a compact habit.
- 4) Numerous short flowering stalks.
This new cultivar has been reproduced only by asexual propagation (cuttings). Each of the progeny exhibits identical characteristics to the original plant. Asexual propagation by tip cuttings using standard propagation techniques with terminal and lateral shoots as done in Canby, Oreg., shows that the foregoing characteristics and distinctions come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations. The present invention has not been evaluated under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary with variations in environment without a change in the genotype of the plant.
The drawing shows a two-year-old Penstemon ‘Coral Carpet’ growing in the ground in full sun in the trial garden in Canby, Oreg.
The following is a detailed description of the new Penstemon hybrid based on observations of one-and-a-half-year-old specimens grown in the ground in full sun under typical outdoor conditions in Canby, Oreg. Canby is in Zone 8 on the USDA Hardiness map. Temperatures range from a high of 95 degrees F. in August to 32 degrees F. in January. Normal rainfall in Canby is 42.8 inches per year in the garden in Canby, Oreg. The color descriptions are all based on The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart.
