Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Dahlia plant named ‘Karma Royal Sea’, characterized by its upright and somewhat outwardly spreading plant habit; strong and erect peduncles; freely flowering habit; decorative-type inflorescence form; large inflorescences with deep red-colored ray florets; and good garden performance and postproduction longevity.
Description
Botanical designation: Dahlia hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Karma Royal Sea’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Dahlia plant, botanically known as Dahlia hybrida, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Karma Royal Sea’.
The new Dahlia is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Hillegom, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program is to create new cut flower Dahlia cultivars that have a freely flowering habit, decorative inflorescence form, attractive ray floret coloration, and good postproduction longevity.
The new Dahlia originated from a cross-pollination in Hillegom, The Netherlands in 2002 of two unidentified selections of Dahlia hybrida, not patented. The new Dahlia 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 Hillegom, The Netherlands in 2003.
Asexual reproduction of the new Dahlia by cuttings in a controlled environment in Lisse, The Netherlands, has shown that the unique features of this new Dahlia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The cultivar Karma Royal Sea has 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 ‘Karma Royal Sea’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Karma Royal Sea’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Dahlia:
-
- 1. Upright and somewhat outwardly spreading plant habit.
- 2. Strong and erect peduncles.
- 3. Freely flowering habit.
- 4. Decorative-type inflorescence form.
- 5. Large inflorescences with deep red-colored ray florets.
- 6. Good garden performance and postproduction longevity.
Compared to plants of the parent selections, plants of the new Dahlia differ primarily in plant size and ray floret color.
Plants of the new Dahlia can be compared to plants of the Dahlia cultivar Karma Naomi, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 11,413. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Lisse, The Netherlands, plants of the new Dahlia differed from plants of the cultivar Karma Naomi in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Dahlia were shorter than plants of the cultivar Karma Naomi.
- 2. Plants of the new Dahlia were more freely branching than plants of the cultivar Karma Naomi.
- 3. Plants of the new Dahlia were more freely flowering than plants of the cultivar Karma Naomi.
- 4. Inflorescences of plants of the new Dahlia had longer postproduction longevity than plants of the cultivar Karma Naomi.
The accompanying photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Dahlia. The photographs shows 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 Dahlia.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of typical flowering plants of ‘Karma Royal Sea’ grown in an outdoor nursery.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical inflorescence of ‘Karma Royal Sea’.
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. The following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Lisse, The Netherlands during the summer in an outdoor nursery and under conditions and practices which approximate those generally used in commercial Dahlia production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 15° C. to 30° C. and night temperatures ranged from 10° C. to 20° C. Plants were pinched one time about three to four weeks after planting. Measurements and numerical values represent averages for typical flowering plants. Plants were about four months old when the photographs and description were taken.
