Abstract
A new Lobelia plant particularly distinguished by its low mounded, pendulous and semi-compact form, vigorous plant habit, dense and free branching, short internodes, large, white flowers and tolerance to heat is disclosed.
Description
Genus and species: Lobelia erinus.
Variety denomination: ‘Tech Hewhit’.
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Lobelia, botanically known as Lobelia erinus, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Tech Hewhit’. The new cultivar originated from a hybridization made in January 2002 in Andijk, The Netherlands. The female parent was ‘LOB03-117-1’ a white proprietary Lobelia line (unpatented), while the male parent was ‘LOB02-14-3’, a white proprietary Lobelia line (unpatented).
The seeds produced by the pollination were sown in March 2003. A single plant selection was chosen for further evaluation and for asexual propagation in July 2003.
The new cultivar was created in 2002 and has been asexually reproduced repeatedly by vegetative cuttings and tissue culture in Gilroy, Calif., and Andijk, The Netherlands over a three and a half year period. The plant was also been trialed at Gilroy, Calif., Andijk, The Netherlands and Hillscheid Germany. The present invention has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive asexual propagations.
Plant Breeder's Rights for this cultivar have been applied for with the European Union on Nov. 13, 2006.
The following are the most outstanding and distinguishing characteristics of this new cultivar when grown under normal horticultural practices in Gilroy, Calif., and Andijk, The Netherlands.
-
- 1. Low mounded, pendulous and semi-compact form;
- 2. Vigorous plant habit;
- 3. Dense and free branching;
- 4. Short internodes;
- 5. Large, white flowers; and
- 6. Tolerance to heat.
This new Lobelia plant is illustrated by the accompanying photographs which show overall plant habit including blooms, buds, and foliage of the plant. The colors shown are as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures.
FIG. 1. shows the overall plant habit of the plant at 20 to 23 weeks old, including blooms, buds and foliage, in a flowers box grown in a greenhouse during the late spring before being moved to an outdoors setting during the summer in Andijk, The Netherlands.
FIG. 2. shows the overall plant habit of 20 weeks old plants, including blooms, buds and foliage of plants in a hanging basket grown outdoors in Hillscheid, Germany.
FIG. 3. shows a close-up of the plant at 20 to 23 weeks old, including blooms, buds and foliage, grown in a greenhouse during the late spring before being moved to an outdoors setting during the summer in Andijk, The Netherlands.
The following detailed descriptions set forth the distinctive characteristics of ‘Tech Hewhit’. The data which define these characteristics were collected in the fall and winter season from 22 to 23 weeks old plants grown in 6-inch pots in Gilroy, Calif. The plants had one plant growth regulator treatment and one terminal pinch at the onset of the trial. Color readings were taken in a greenhouse in January under natural light. Color references are primarily in the R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London (R.H.S.) (2001 edition). Texture description details were observed under a dissecting microscope.
