Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Lantana plant named ‘Robpwpur’, characterized by its mounding and trailing plant habit; vigorous growth habit; relatively small leaves; freely flowering habit; and purple and white-colored flowers that are held above and beyond the foliage.

Description

Botanical designation: Lantana montevidensis.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Robpwpur’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Lantana, botanically known as Lantana montevidensis, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Robpwpur’.
The new Lantana is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Grain Valley, Mo. The objective of the breeding program is to create new freely-flowering Lantana cultivars with attractive flower coloration.
The new Lantana is a naturally-occurring branch mutation of the Lantana montevidensis cultivar Alba, not patented. The new Lantana was discovered and selected by the Inventor on a single plant of the cultivar Alba in a controlled environment in Grain Valley, Mo. in July, 2002.
Asexual reproduction of the new Lantana by vegetative cuttings in a controlled environment in Grain Valley, Mo. since October, 2002, has shown that the unique features of this new Lantana are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar Robpwpur has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment and cultural practices 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 ‘Robpwpur’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Robpwpur’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Lantana:
    • 1. Mounding and trailing plant habit.
    • 2. Vigorous growth habit.
    • 3. Relatively small leaves.
    • 4. Freely flowering habit.
    • 5. Purple and white-colored flowers that are held above and beyond the foliage.
Plants of the new Lantana can be compared to plants of the parent, the cultivar Alba. Plants of the new Lantana differ primarily from plants of the cultivar Alba in flower color as plants of the cultivar Alba have white-colored flowers. In addition, plants of the new Lantana have darker green-colored leaves than plants of the cultivar Alba.
Plants of the new Lantana can be compared to plants of the Lantana cultivar Weeping Lavender, not patented. Plants of the new Lantana differ from plants of the cultivar Weeping Lavender in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Lantana have darker green-colored leaves than plants of the cultivar Weeping Lavender.
    • 2. Plants of the new Lantana have darker purple-colored flowers than plants of the cultivar Weeping Lavender.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Lantana, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Lantana.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Robpwpur’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the top of the sheet is a close-up view of typical inflorescences and leaves of ‘Robpwpur’.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Bonsall, Calif., under commercial practice during the spring and summer in an outdoor nursery with day temperatures ranging from 13° C. to 38° C. and night temperatures ranging from 10° C. to 24° C. Plants used in the photographs and for the description were grown in one-gallon containers for about four months. 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.
