Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Dahlia plant named ‘Challenging Glow’, characterized by its upright, outwardly spreading and mounded plant habit; freely branching growth habit; freely flowering habit; large inflorescences with red-colored bright ray florets; and good postproduction longevity.

Description

Botanical designation: Dahlia hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Challenging Glow’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Dahlia plant, botanically known as Dahlia hybrida, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Challenging Glow’.
The new Dahlia is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Lisse, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program is to create new pot-type Dahlia cultivars that have a freely branching and flowering habit, attractive ray floret coloration, and good postproduction longevity.
The new Dahlia originated from an open-pollination in Lisse, The Netherlands of two unnamed selections of Dahlia hybrida, not patented. The new Dahlia was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the stated open-pollination in a controlled environment in Lisse, The Netherlands in 2004.
Asexual reproduction of the new Dahlia by cuttings in a controlled environment in Lisse, The Netherlands, has shown that the unique features of this new Dahlia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar Challenging Glow 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 ‘Challenging Glow’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Challenging Glow’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Dahlia:
    • 1. Upright, outwardly spreading and mounded plant habit.
    • 2. Freely branching growth habit.
    • 3. Freely flowering habit.
    • 4. Large inflorescences with bright red-colored ray florets.
    • 5. Good postproduction longevity.
Compared to plants of the parent selections, plants of the new Dahlia differ primarily in ray floret coloration and plant size.
Plants of the new Dahlia can be compared to plants of the Dahlia cultivar Sunny Glow, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Lisse, The Netherlands, plants of the new Dahlia differed from plants of the cultivar Sunny Glow in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Dahlia were larger than plants of the cultivar Sunny Glow.
    • 2. Plants of the new Dahlia flowered earlier than plants of the cultivar Sunny Glow.
    • 3. Ray florets of plants of the new Dahlia were bright red-colored whereas ray florets of plants of the cultivar Sunny Glow were yellow-colored.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
The accompanying photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new Dahlia. The photograph shows 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 Dahlia. The photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Challenging Glow’ grown in a container.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
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 following observations and measurements describe plants grown in a glass-covered greenhouse in De Lier, The Netherlands during the winter and early spring and under conditions and practices which approximate those generally used in commercial Dahlia production. During the production of the plants, day and night temperatures averaged 18° C. Measurements and numerical values represent averages for typical flowering plants. Plants were about 10 weeks from planting when the photograph and description were taken.
