Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Fuchsia plant named ‘Kiefubart’, characterized by its outwardly arching to trailing growth habit; freely branching plant habit; red and purple bi-colored flowers; and freely and continuous flowering habit.

Description

Botanical designation: Fuchsia×hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Kiefubart’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Fuchsia, botanically known as Fuchsia×hybrida and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Kiefubart’.
The new Fuchsia is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Venhuizen, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program is to create new outwardly arching Fuchsia cultivars with numerous flowers and attractive flower coloration.
The new Fuchsia originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor during the spring of 2001 in Venhuizen, The Netherlands of a proprietary selection of Fuchsia×hybrida identified as code number A2534-2, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Fuchsia×hybrida identified as code number A2593-1, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Fuchsia 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 Venhuizen, The Netherlands during the summer of 2002.
Asexual reproduction of the new Fuchsia by terminal cuttings in a controlled environment in Venhuizen, The Netherlands since 2002, has shown that the unique features of this new Fuchsia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar Kiefubart has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment and cultural practices such as temperature, daylength 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 ‘Kiefubart’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Kiefubart’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Fuchsia:
    • 1. Outwardly arching to trailing growth habit.
    • 2. Freely branching plant habit.
    • 3. Red and purple bi-colored flowers.
    • 4. Freely and continuous flowering habit.
Plants of the new Fuchsia differ primarily from plants of the parent selections in flower coloration.
Plants of the new Fuchsia can also be compared to plants of the cultivar Beacon, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Venhuizen, The Netherlands, plants of the new Fuchsia and the cultivar Beacon differed in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Fuchsia were more freely flowering than plants of the cultivar Beacon.
    • 2. Plants of the new Fuchsia flowered for a longer period of time and more continuously than plants of the cultivar Beacon.
    • 3. Flower color of plants of the new Fuchsia was more intense than flower color of plants of the cultivar Beacon.
    • 4. Plants of the new Fuchsia were more tolerant to high temperatures than plants of the cultivar Beacon.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Fuchsia, 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 accurately describe the colors of the new Fuchsia.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Kiefubart’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a close-up of typical flowers and flower buds of ‘Kiefubart’.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in Lompoc, Calif., under commercial practice during the winter and early spring in a polycarbonate-covered greenhouse with day temperatures ranging from 18° C. to 24° C., night temperatures ranging from 16° C. to 18° C., and light levels ranging from about 4,000 to 8,000 foot candles. Plants were grown for about 19 weeks with one plant per 12.5-cm container. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
