Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Verbena plant named ‘Sunmarired’, characterized by its outwardly spreading to trailing plant habit; vigorous growth habit; freely branching habit; freely flowering habit; and intense red-colored flowers that are held above and beyond the foliage.
Description
Botanical designation: Verbena hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Sunmarired’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Verbena, botanically known as Verbena hybrida, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Sunmarired’.
The new Verbena is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan. The objective of the breeding program is to create new Verbena cultivars with large inflorescences and attractive flower coloration.
The new Verbena originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in June, 2002 in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan of a proprietary seedling selection of Verbena hybrida identified as code number USV65, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary seedling selection of Verbena hybrida identified as code number H232-2, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Verbena was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plan within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan.
Asexual reproduction of the new Verbena by terminal cuttings in a controlled environment in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan since October, 2003 has shown that the unique features of this new Verbena are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The cultivar Sunmarired has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment and cultural practices such as temperature, daylength 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 ‘Sunmarired’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Sunmarired’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Verbena:
-
- 1. Outwardly spreading to trailing plant habit.
- 2. Vigorous growth habit.
- 3. Freely branching habit.
- 4. Freely flowering habit.
- 5. Intense red-colored flowers that are held above and beyond the foliage.
Plants of the new Verbena can be compared to plants of the female parent selection. Plants of the new Verbena differ from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Verbena are broader than plants of the female parent selection.
- 2. Plants of the new Verbena have shorter internodes than plants of the female parent selection.
- 3. Plants of the new Verbena have larger flowers than plants of the female parent selection.
Plants of the new Verbena can be compared to plants of the male parent selection. Plants of the new Verbena differ from plants of the male parent selection in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Verbena are more trailing than and not as upright as plants of the male parent selection.
- 2. Plants of the new Verbena are broader than plants of the male parent selection.
- 3. Plants of the new Verbena and the male parent selection differ in flower color as plants of the male parent selection have pink-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Verbena can be compared to plants of the Verbena cultivar Sunvp-su, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,311. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan, plants of the new Verbena differed from plants of the cultivar Sunvp-su in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Verbena were not as broad as plants of the cultivar Sunvp-su.
- 2. Plants of the new Verbena had larger flowers than plants of the cultivar Sunvp-su.
- 3. Plants of the new Verbena had broader petals than plants of the cultivar Sunvp-su.
- 4. Plants of the new Verbena and the cultivar Sunvp-su differed in flower color as plants of the cultivar Sunvp-su had lighter red-colored flowers.
- 5. Plants of the new Verbena had thicker peduncles than plants of the cultivar Sunvp-su.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Verbena, 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 Verbena.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Sunmarired’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet is a close-up view of a typical inflorescence of ‘Sunmarired’.
The aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan, under commercial practice during the summer in an outdoor nursery with day temperatures averaging 21° C. and night temperatures averaging 14° C. Plants were grown with one rooted cutting per 13.5-cm container for about four months.
