Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Echinacea plant named ‘Norwhinat’, characterized by its upright and relatively compact plant habit; large single-type inflorescences with white-colored ray florets and orange-colored receptacle spines; strong flowering stems that hold the inflorescences upright; and good garden performance.
Description
Botanical designation: Echinacea purpurea.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Norwhinat’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Echinacea plant, botanically known as Echinacea purpurea, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Norwhinat’.
The new Echinacea is a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of the Echinacea purpurea cultivar White Swan, not patented. The new Echinacea was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within a population of plants of the cultivar White Swan grown in a controlled outdoor nursery environment in Boisbriand, Quebec, Canada during the summer of 2000.
Asexual reproduction of the new Echinacea by divisions in a controlled greenhouse environment in Boisbriand, Quebec, Canada has shown that the unique features of this new Echinacea are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The cultivar Norwhinat 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 ‘Norwhinat’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Norwhinat’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Echinacea:
-
- 1. Upright and relatively compact plant habit.
- 2. Large single-type inflorescences with white-colored ray florets and orange-colored receptacle spines.
- 3. Strong flowering stems that hold the inflorescences upright.
- 4. Good garden performance.
Compared to plants of the parent, the cultivar White Swan, plants of the new Echinacea differ primarily in plant size as plants of the new Echinacea are more shorter and narrower than plants of the cultivar White Swan.
Plants of the new Echinacea can be compared to plants of the Echinacea cultivar Kim's Mophead, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,560. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Boisbriand, Quebec, Canada, plants of the new Echinacea differed from plants of the cultivar Kim's Mophead in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Echinacea had larger and darker green-colored leaves than plants of the cultivar Kim's Mophead.
- l . Plants of the new Echinacea had larger inflorescences than plants of the cultivar Kim's Mophead.
- 3. Inflorescences of plants of the new Echinacea had more ray florets than inflorescences of plants of the cultivar Kim's Mophead.
- 4. Receptacle spines of plants of the new Echinacea had orange-colored apices whereas receptacle spines of plants of the cultivar Kim's Mophead had green-colored apices.
The accompanying photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Echinacea. The photographs show 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 Echinacea.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Norwhinat’ grown in a ground bed in an outdoor nursery.
The photograph on the second sheet are close-up views of a typical mature inflorescence (left) and immature inflorescence (right) of ‘Norwhinat’.
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 aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Boisbriand, Quebec, Canada during the spring and summer in an outdoor nursery and under conditions and practices which approximate those generally used in commercial Echinacea production. Measurements and numerical values represent averages for typical flowering plants. Plants were about three years old when the photographs and description were taken.
