Abstract
A Verbena cultivar particularly distinguished by large, early flowering, bright red flowers, strong branching growth, good garden performance and tolerance to mildew is disclosed.
Description
Genus and species: Verbena hybrida.
Variety denomination: ‘Vegas Bright Red’.
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of verbena, botanically known as Verbena hybrida, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Vegas Bright Red’. ‘Vegas Bright Red’ originated from a hybridization in June 2003 in Quedlinburg, Germany. The female parent was a verbena with light red flowers while the male parent was a verbena with intense red flowers.
The new cultivar was first propagated in summer of 2006 from mother stock and has been asexually reproduced through vegetative cuttings for four generations. The present invention has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics.
The following are the most outstanding and distinguishing characteristics of this new cultivar when grown under normal horticultural practices in Quedlinburg, Germany.
-
- 1. Large bright red flowers;
- 2. Early flowering;
- 3. Strong branching growth;
- 4. Good garden performance; and
- 5. Tolerance to mildew.
This new Verbena plant is illustrated by the accompanying photograph which shows the overall plant habit, including blooms, buds and foliage of the plant in full color, the colors shown being as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures.
The following detailed descriptions set forth the distinctive characteristics of ‘Vegas Bright Red’. The data which define these characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried out in Quedlinburg, Sachsen-Anhalt, Germany. Data was collected on plants in 12-liter pots in October. Color references are primarily to the R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London (R.H.S.) (4th ed).
