Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Echinacea plant named ‘Katie Saul’, characterized by its upright and columnar plant habit; vigorous growth habit; freely branching habit; large single inflorescences with salmon pink-colored ray florets; and strong flowering stems that hold the inflorescences upright.
Description
Botanical designation: Echinacea purpurea×Echinacea paradoxa.
Cultivar denomination: ‘KATIE SAUL’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Echinacea plant, botanically known as Echinacea purpurea×Echinacea paradoxa, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Katie Saul’.
The new Echinacea originated from an open-pollination in July, 2002, of an unnamed selection of Echinacea purpurea×Echinacea paradoxa, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with an unknown selection of Echinacea purpurea×Echinacea paradoxa, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Echinacea 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 Dahlonega, Ga. in June, 2003.
Asexual reproduction of the new Echinacea by tissue culture in a controlled environment in Atlanta, Ga. since September, 2003, has shown that the unique features of this new Echinacea are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The cultivar Katie Saul 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 ‘Katie Saul’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Katie Saul’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Echinacea:
-
- 1. Upright and columnar plant habit.
- 2. Vigorous growth habit.
- 3. Freely branching habit.
- 4. Large single inflorescences with salmon pink-colored ray florets.
- 5. Strong flowering stems that hold the inflorescences upright.
Compared to plants of the female parent selection, plants of the new Echinacea are more freely branching and differ in ray floret coloration.
Plants of the new Echinacea can be compared to plants of the Echinacea cultivar Magnus, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Dahlonega, Ga., plants of the new Echinacea differed from plants of the cultivar Magnus in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Echinacea were more vigorous than plants of the cultivar Magnus.
- 2. Flowers of plants of the new Echinacea were more fragrant than flowers of plants of the cultivar Magnus.
- 3. Plants of the new Echinacea had larger flowers than plants of the cultivar Magnus.
- 4. Plants of the new Echinacea and the cultivar Magnus differed in ray floret color as plants of the cultivar Magnus had red purple-colored ray florets.
The accompanying photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new Echinacea. The photograph show the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photograph may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Echinacea. The photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Katie Saul’ grown in a container.
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 aforementioned photograph and following observations and measurement describe plants grown in Dahlonega, Ga. during the spring and summer in an outdoor nursery and under conditions and practices which approximate those generally used in commercial Echinacea production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from about −5° C. to about 35° C. and night temperatures ranged from about −15° C. to about 21° C. Measurements and numercial values represent averages for typical flowering plants. Plants were about one year old when the photograph and description were taken.
