Abstract
A new cultivar of Cordyline plant named ‘Falcon’ that is characterized by red-brown leaves and a compact habit.
Description
Botanical classification: Cordyline baueri. Variety denomination: ‘Falcon’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Cordyline baueri and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Falcon’. The new cultivar was discovered by the inventor in a seed bed of Cordyline baueri in a cultivated area of Whenuapai, New Zealand in 1999. The exact parents are unknown. ‘Falcon’ was selected as a single plant.
The new Cordyline plant ‘Falcon’ is distinct and unique due to its red-brown leaves and compact habit.
The new cultivar was first asexually propagated by tissue culture in Hastings, New Zealand in 2000. Since that time, under careful observation, the unique characteristics of the new cultivar have been uniform, stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
The new Cordyline ‘Falcon’ is distinguished from other known varieties of Cordyline, by the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Compact habit.
- 2. Red-brown leaves.
The closest comparison cultivars are Cordyline ‘Purple Towel’ (not patented) and Cordyline ‘Red Star’ (not patented). ‘Falcon’ is distinguishable from ‘Purple Towel’ by its compact habit and deep root system. ‘Falcon’ is distinguishable from ‘Red Star’ by its compact habit and red-brown leaf color.
The accompanying color photograph illustrates the distinguishing characteristics of the new cultivar ‘Falcon’. The photograph shows an overall view of a 2 year old plant. All photographs are taken using conventional photographic techniques and although foliage colors may appear different from actual colors due to light reflectance, they are as accurate as possible by conventional photography.
The following is a detailed description of the Cordyline cultivar named ‘Falcon’. Data was collected in Whenuapai, New Zealand from 2.5 year old plants. The plants were grown outdoors under natural conditions. The time of year was Winter (Southern Hemisphere). Phenotypic differences may be observed with variations in environmental, climatic, and cultural conditions, without however, any difference in genotype. Color determinations are in accordance with the 1995 Royal Horticultural Society Color Chart except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The growing requirements are similar to the species and no disease problems have been observed.
