Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Coreopsis plant named ‘Little Sundial’, characterized by its compact and upright plant habit; low to moderately vigorous growth habit; freely basal branching habit; freely flowering habit; rotate single inflorescences with golden yellow and dark orange-colored ray florets; and moderately strong peduncles that hold the inflorescences above the foliar plane.
Description
Botanical designation: Coreopsis hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Little Sundial’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Coreopsis plant, botanically known as Coreopsis hybrida, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Little Sundial’.
The new Coreopsis originated from an open-pollination of an unnamed selection of Coreopsis hybrida, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with an unknown selection of Coreopsis hybrida, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Coreopsis was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated open-pollination grown in a controlled environment in Noordwijkerhout, The Netherlands in 2001.
Asexual reproduction of the new Coreopsis by cuttings in a controlled environment in Noordwijkerhout, The Netherlands since 2003, has shown that the unique features of this new Coreopsis are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The cultivar Little Sundial 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 ‘Little Sundial’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Little Sundial’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Coreopsis:
-
- 1. Compact and upright plant habit.
- 2. Low to moderately vigorous growth habit.
- 3. Freely basal branching habit.
- 4. Freely flowering habit.
- 5. Rotate single inflorescences with golden yellow and dark orange-colored ray florets.
- 6. Moderately strong peduncles that hold the inflorescences above the foliar plane.
Compared to plants of the female parent selection, plants of the new Coreopsis are more compact and are more freely flowering.
Plants of the new Coreopsis can be compared to plants of the Coreopsis cultivar Sterntaler, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Lisserbroek, The Netherlands, plants of the new Coreopsis differed from plants of the cultivar Sterntaler in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Coreopsis were more compact and more uniform than plants of the cultivar Sterntaler.
- 2. Plants of the new Coreopsis were more freely flowering than plants of the cultivar Sterntaler.
The accompanying photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Coreopsis. The 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 Coreopsis.
The photograph at the top of the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Little Sundial’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the bottom of the first sheet is a close-up view of a typical leaf of ‘Little Sundial’.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical inflorescence of ‘Little Sundial’.
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. The following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Lisserbroek, The Netherlands during the summer and early autumn in an outdoor nursery and under conditions and practices which approximate those generally used in commercial Coreopsis production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 14° C. to 32° C. and night temperatures ranged from 4° C. to 16° C. Measurements and numerical values represent averages for typical flowering plants. Plants were about one year old when the photographs and description were taken.
