Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Eryngium plant named ‘Little Blue Wonder’, characterized by its compact and upright plant habit; freely branching growth habit; and dark blue purple-colored flowers.
Description
Botanical designation: Eryngium planum.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Little Blue Wonder’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Eryngium plant, botanically known as Eryngium planum, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Little Blue Wonder’.
The new Eryngium is a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of the Eryngium planum cultivar Fluela, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,218. The new Eryngium was discovered and selected by the Inventor in August, 2001 in a controlled environment in Wassenaar, The Netherlands from within a population of plants of ‘Fluela’.
Asexual reproduction of the new Eryngium by divisions at Rijnsburg, The Netherlands since January, 2003, has shown that the unique features of this new Eryngium are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Little Blue Wonder’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Little Blue Wonder’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
-
- 1. Compact and upright plant habit.
- 2. Freely branching growth habit.
- 3. Dark blue purple-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Eryngium differ primarily from plants of the parent, the cultivar Fluela, in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Ergyngium are more compact than plants of the cultivar Fluela.
- 2. Plants of the new Eryngium have narrower leaves than plants of the cultivar Fluela.
- 3. Plants of the new Eryngium have shorter flowering stems than plants of the cultuvar Fluela.
Plants of the new Eryngium can be compared to plants of the Eryngium cultivar Sapphire Blue, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,088. Plants of the new Eryngium differ from plants of the cultivar Sapphire Blue in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Eryngium are more compact than plants of the cultivar Sapphire Blue.
- 2. Plants of the new Eryngium have smaller leaves than plants of the cultivar Sapphire Blue.
- 3. Plants of the new Eryngium and the cultivar Sapphire Blue differ in leaf coloration.
- 4. Plants of the new Eryngium flower more freely and earlier than plants of the cultivar Sapphire Blue.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Eryngium, 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 Eryngium.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Little Blue Wonder’.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises close-up views of the lower (top left) and upper (top right) surfaces of typical leaves and a typical flowering stem (bottom) of ‘Little Blue Wonder’.
The cultivar ‘Little Blue Wonder’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, daylength and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype.
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 for the photographs and the following description were grown in Noordwijkerhout, The Netherlands, in an outdoor nursery under commercial practice during the summer and autumn for about six months with average day temperatures ranging from 18° C. to 27° C. and night temperatures ranging from 12° C. to 18° C.
