Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Aster plant named ‘Yoshout’, characterized by its uniform, outwardly spreading and mounded plant habit; freely branching growth habit; dark green-colored foliage; uniform flowering habit; natural flowering season mid-September in the Northern Hemisphere; daisy-type inflorescences with violet-colored ray florets; and good garden performance.
Description
Botanical designation: Aster hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Yoshout’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Aster plant, botanically known as Aster hybrida and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Yoshout’.
The objective of the breeding program is to create new potted Aster cultivars with uniform plant growth habit, good vigor and strong branching habit, numerous inflorescences, desirable and unique floret colors, uniform flowering response and good garden performance.
The new Aster originated from an open-pollination in February, 2002, in Alva, Fla. of an unnamed Aster hybrida seedling selection, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with an unknown Aster hybrida seedling selection, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Aster was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the stated open-pollination in a controlled environment Alva, Fla. during the fall of 2002. The selection of this plant was based on its uniform plant growth habit, vigor, desirable floret color and postproduction longevity.
Asexual reproduction of the new Aster by vegetative tip cuttings was first conducted in Alva, Fla. in January, 2003. Asexual reproduction by cuttings has shown that the unique features of this new Aster are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the cultivar Yoshout have 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.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of ‘Yoshout’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Yoshout’ as a new and distinct potted Aster cultivar:
-
- 1. Uniform, outwardly spreading and mounded plant habit.
- 2. Freely branching growth habit.
- 3. Dark green-colored foliage.
- 4. Uniform flowering habit.
- 5. Natural flowering season mid-September in the Northern Hemisphere.
- 6. Daisy-type inflorescences with violet-colored ray florets.
- 7. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Aster differ from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Aster flower several days later than plants of the female parent selection.
- 2. Plants of the new Aster and the female parent selection differ in ray floret color as plants of the female parent selection have lavender-colored ray florets.
- 3. Plants of the new Aster have longer lasting inflorescences than plants of the female parent selection.
Plants of the new Aster can be compared to plants of the Aster cultivar Yomelody, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 15,822. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Alva, Fla., plants of the new Aster differed from plants of the cultivar Yomelody in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Aster were more rounded than plants of the cultivar Yomelody.
- 2. Plants of the new Aster flowered later than plants of the cultivar Yomelody.
- 3. Plants of the new Aster and the cultivar Yomelody differed in ray floret coloration.
- 4. Ray florets of plants of the new Aster resisted fading better than ray florets of plants of the cultivar Yomelody.
Plants of the new Aster can be compared to plants of the Aster cultivar Thyra Viking, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,361. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Alva, Fla., plants of the new Aster differed from plants of the cultivar Thyra Viking in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Aster were larger, more uniform and more mounding than plants of the cultivar Thyra Viking.
- 2. Plants of the new Aster flowered later than plants of the cultivar Thyra Viking.
- 3. Plants of the new Aster and the cultivar Thyra Viking differed in ray floret coloration.
The accompanying photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Aster. These 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 Aster.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of three typical flowering plants of ‘Yoshout’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the top of the sheet is a close-up view of typical inflorescences of ‘Yoshout’.
The aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants grown during the spring and early summer in Alva, Fla. in a polycarbonate-covered greenhouse and under conditions and practices which approximate those generally used in commercial potted Aster production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures averaged 29° C. and night temperatures averaged 21° C. Three unrooted cuttings were directly stuck in 15-containers, exposed to long day/short night conditions, and pinched about three weeks later. About two weeks after the pinch, the photoinductive short day/long night treatments were started. Plants used in the photographs and for the description were about ten to twelve weeks old. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significant are used.
