Abstract

A new Verbena plant particularly distinguished by its red purple flower with a dark purple centre, early flowering, and a habit that is upright and later spreading.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed: Verbena×hybrida.
Varietal denomination: ‘Raspena’.
BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention comprises a new distinct cultivar of Verbena, botanically known as Verbena×hybrida.
The new cultivar is originated from the self-pollination of ‘D1472-2’ as female parent and as the male or pollen parent. ‘D1472-2’ is a purple flowering Verbena, ‘D1472-2’ is not commercially available and is not known by any synonyms. ‘D1472-2’ has not been patented.
As a result of the self-pollination the present cultivar was crated in 2003 in Enkhuizen, Netherlands and has been repeatedly asexually reproduced by cuttings in Enkhuizen, Netherlands and Sarrians, France over a two year period. The new variety is stable and reproduces true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
This new Verbena plant is an annual in most climatical zones in the US, only in zones 9 and 10 it is a perennial plant.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
The new Verbena plant is illustrated by the accompanying drawing which shows blooms, buds and foliage of the plant in full color, the color shown being as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures.
 DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW CULTIVAR
The following detailed descriptions set forth the distinctive characteristics of this new Verbena. The data the define these characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried out in Enkhuizen, Netherlands. The plant history was taken in 14 week old plants, blossomed under natural light in a greenhouse, and grown in a 10.5 cm container. Color readings were taken in the greenhouse under ambient light.
Color references are primarily to the R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London.
