Abstract

A new and distinct Coleus plant cultivar is disclosed, characterized by deeply lobed, undulating leaves, a wide mix of colors including light coral and bright green, a compact growth habit and short internodes.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species: Solenostemon scutellarioides.
Variety denomination: ‘MD CURPGF06’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The new cultivar ‘MD CURLL06’ was discovered as a naturally occurring whole plant mutation of the parent Coleus plant variety ‘Bienvenue’ (not patented). The new cultivar was discovered in May 2002 as a single plant in a cultivated area of Glienicke, Germany.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar ‘MD CURLL06’ by terminal cuttings was first performed in 2002 in Oxnard, Calif. and has shown that the unique features of this new cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type on successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar ‘MD CURPGF06’ has 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 ‘MD CURPGF06.’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘MD CURPGF06’ as a new and distinct Coleus cultivar:
    • 1. Deeply lobed, undulating leaves;
    • 2. Wide mix of colors per leaf;
    • 3. Compact growth habit; and
    • 4. Short internodes.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘MD CURPGF06’ are similar to plants of the parent variety, ‘Bienvenue,’ in most horticultural characteristics; however plants of the new cultivar ‘MD CURPGF06’ are much shorter than the parent variety. Also, the leaves of the parent are longer than the new variety. Finally, the foliage of the parent variety was red brown, with yellow-green margins and irregular brown patches on the middle rib while the foliage of ‘MD CURPGF06’ is pink with patches of pale yellow and a darker green margin.
In comparison to the commercially available variety ‘Super Ducks Foot’ (not patented), ‘MD CURPGF06’ has more deeply lobed and undulating foliage. Also, ‘MD CURPGF06’ has coral pink colored foliage with a thin bright green margin compared to the foliage of ‘Super Ducks Foot’ with its bronze red color and wide yellow margin.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
The accompanying photograph illustrates in full color a typical plant of ‘MD CURPGF06’ grown in a four-inch pot. One cutting was used in the pot, planted mid December and grown in a greenhouse. During the production of the plants, day temperatures were about 25° C., night temperatures were about 12° C. and light levels ranged from 4,000 to 6,000 footcandles. The colors are as nearly true as is reasonably possible in a color representation of this type.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The following observations and measurements describe 11 week old ‘MD CURPGF06’ plants grown in Oxnard, Ventura County, Calif., during the months of December through February. The growing temperature ranged from 12° C. to 15° C. at night to 12° C. to 20° C. during the day. Measurements and numerical values represent averages of typical coleus plants.
