Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Gazania plant named ‘Suga111’, characterized by its compact, outwardly spreading, low-growing and mounded plant habit; freely branching growth habit; freely flowering habit; large anemone-type inflorescences with golden yellow-colored ray florets; and good garden performance.
Description
Botanical designation: Gazania hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘SUGA111’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Gazania plant, botanically known as Gazania hybrida and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Suga111’.
The objective of the breeding program is to create new Gazania cultivars with desirable and unique inflorescence form and floret colors.
The new Gazania originated from a cross-pollination in Cobbitty, New South Wales, Australia in January, 2001, of a proprietary selection of Gazania hybrida identified as code number NX20.500.1, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Gazania hybrida identified as code number KO.2, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Gazania was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the stated open-pollination in a controlled environment Cobbitty, New South Wales, Australia in October, 2002.
Asexual reproduction of the new Gazania by vegetative tip cuttings in a controlled environment in Cobbitty, New South Wales, Australia since October, 2002, has shown that the unique features of this new Gazania are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the cultivar Suga111 have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment 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 ‘Suga111’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Suga111’ as a new and distinct potted Gazania cultivar:
-
- 1. Compact, outwardly spreading, low-growing and mounded plant habit.
- 2. Freely branching growth habit.
- 3. Freely flowering habit.
- 4. Large anemone-type inflorescences with golden yellow-colored ray florets.
- 5. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Gazania differ from plants of the female parent selection primarily in ray floret color as plants of the female parent selection have yellow-colored ray florets. Plants of the new Gazania differ from plants of the male parent selection primarily in inflorescence form and ray floret color as plants of the male parent selection have daisy-type inflorescences with orange-colored ray florets.
Plants of the new Gazania can be compared to plants of the Gazania cultivar Sunset Jane, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Cobbitty, New South Wales, Australia, plants of the new Gazania differed primarily from plants of the cultivar Sunset Jane in ray floret coloration as plants of the cultivar Sunset Jane had amber-colored ray florets.
The accompanying photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Gazania. These photographs show 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 Gazania.
The photograph on at the bottom of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Suga111’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the top of the sheet is a close-up view of typical inflorescences of ‘Suga111’.
The aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants grown during the late winter and early spring in Encinitas, Calif. and under conditions and practices which approximate those generally used in commercial potted Gazania production. Plants were initially grown in a polyethylene-covered greenhouse and then grown for the last three weeks in an outdoor nursery. During the production of the plants, day temperatures averaged 24° C. and night temperatures averaged 19° C. Plants used in the photographs and for the description were about 18 weeks old. 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.
