Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Hibiscus plant named ‘HJ-116’, characterized by its upright and somewhat outwardly spreading plant habit; freely branching habit when pinched; relatively large leaves; large pale yellow-colored flowers with red-colored centers; and long flower longevity.

Description

Botanical designation: Hibiscus rosa-sinensis.
Cultivar denomination: ‘HJ-116’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Hibiscus, botanically known as Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘HJ-116’.
The new Hibiscus is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Seaforth, Ontario, Canada. The objective of the breeding program is to create new Hibiscus cultivars that flower early and have long flower longevity.
The new Hibiscus originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in Seaforth, Ontario, Canada in November, 2002, of the Hibiscus rosa-sinensis cultivar Byron Metts, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary Hibiscus rosa-sinensis selection, designated as code number HJ-136, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The cultivar HJ-116 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 Seaforth, Ontario, Canada in October, 2003.
Asexual reproduction of the new Hibiscus by vegetative terminal cuttings in a controlled environment in Seaforth, Ontario, Canada since October, 2003, has shown that the unique features of this new Hibiscus are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar HJ-116 has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment and cultural practices 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 ‘HJ-116’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘HJ-116’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Hibiscus:
    • 1. Upright and somewhat outwardly spreading plant habit.
    • 2. Freely branching habit when pinched.
    • 3. Relatively large leaves.
    • 4. Large pale yellow-colored flowers with red-colored centers.
    • 5. Long flower longevity.
Plants of the new Hibiscus can be compared to plants of the female parent, the cultivar Byron Metts. Plants of the new Hibiscus differ from plants of the cultivar Byron Metts in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Hibiscus have smaller and lighter green-colored leaves than plants of the cultivar Byron Metts.
    • 2. Plants of the new Hibiscus have smaller flowers than plants of the cultivar Byron Metts.
    • 3. Plants of the new Hibiscus and the cultivar Byron Metts differ in flower coloration as plants of the cultivar Byron Metts have solid white-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Hibiscus can be compared to plants of the male parent, the proprietary Hibiscus selection code number HJ-136. Plants of the new Hibiscus differ from plants of the male parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Hibiscus have smaller leaves than plants of the male parent selection.
    • 2. Plants of the new Hibiscus and the male parent selection differ in flower coloration as plants of the male parent selection have white and purple-colored flowers.
    • 3. Plants of the new Hibiscus have longer lasting flowers than plants of the male parent selection.
Plants of the new Hibiscus can be compared to plants of the Hibiscus rosa-sinensis cultivar Coconut Cream, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Seaforth, Ontario, Canada, plants of the new Hibiscus differed from plants of the cultivar Coconut Cream in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Hibiscus had leaves with obtuse bases and crenate margins whereas plants of the cultivar Coconut Cream had leaves with cordate bases and weakly crenate margins.
    • 2. Plants of the new Hibiscus had longer leaf petioles than plants of the cultivar Coconut Cream.
    • 3. Plants of the new Hibiscus had less undulating petal margins than plants of the cultivar Coconut Cream.
    • 4. Flowers of plants of the new Hibiscus and the cultivar Coconut Cream differed in flower color as plants of the cultivar Coconut Cream did not have red-colored centers.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Hibiscus, 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 Hibiscus.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of typical flowering plants of ‘HJ-116’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet comprises a close-up view of a typical flower of ‘HJ-116’ (left) and ‘Coconut Cream’ (right).
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in Seaforth, Ontario, Canada in containers in polyethylene-covered greenhouses under conditions which closely approximate commercial production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from about 20° C. to about 35° C. and night temperatures ranged from about 18° C. to about 21° C. Plants were about ten months old when the photographs and the description were taken. In the description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
