Abstract
A verbena plant particularly distinguished by deep violet-blue flowers that form a semi-spherical-shaped inflorescence, an early, continuous and abundant flowering response, medium green foliage with moderately dissected leaves, medium vigor, free-branching, and a moderately compact, partly spreading to decumbent and semi-trailing plant habit, is disclosed.
Description
Genus and species: Verbena hybrida
Variety denomination: ‘Rap Viotwo’.
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of verbena, botanically known as Verbena hybrida and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Rap Viotwo’. The new cultivar originated from a hybridization made in November 2001 in Gilroy, Calif. The female parent was ‘1281-1’, a proprietary deep blue-flowered verbena plant (unpatented), while the male parent was ‘1252-4’, a proprietary deep purple-flowered verbena plant (unpatented).
The new cultivar was created in November 2001 in Gilroy, Calif. and has been asexually reproduced repeatedly by vegetative cuttings and tissue culture in Gilroy, Calif. and Andijk, The Netherlands over a three-year period. A single plant was selected based on its desirable qualities. The plant has also been trialed at Gilroy, Calif. and Andijk, The Netherlands. 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 Mar. 29, 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 Gilroy, Calif., and Hillscheid, Germany.
-
- 1. Deep violet-blue flowers and a semi-spherical-shaped inflorescence;
- 2. An early, continuous and an abundant flowering response;
- 3. Medium green foliage with moderately dissected leaves;
- 4. Medium vigor;
- 5. A free-branching and moderately compact plant habit; and
- 6. A partly spreading to decumbent and semi-trailing plant habit.
This new verbena 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 an 11-week-old plant grown in a greenhouse in a Spring trial setting.
The following detailed descriptions set forth the distinctive characteristics of ‘Rap Viotwo’. The data which define these characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried out in Hillscheid, Germany. The plant history was taken on 11-week-old plants grown in a greenhouse in Hillscheid, Germany in Spring 2005. The plants were pinched once. Observations were made in mid-May 2005 when the plants were beginning to flower. 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 (R.H.S.) (2001 edition).
