Abstract
A new and distinct Echinacea plant named ‘Tomato Soup’ characterized by very large, bright red-orange flowers, well-branched upright flower stalks, and excellent vigor.
Description
Botanical denomination: Echinacea spp.
Variety designation: ‘Tomato Soup’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Echinacea and given the cultivar name ‘Tomato Soup’. Echinacea is in the family Asteraceae. This new cultivar originated as a fourth-generation seedling from a planned breeding program using the parents Echinacea paradoxa (unpatented) and Echinacea purpurea ‘Ruby Giant’ (unpatented) for the initial cross. The exact parents of this selection are unnamed proprietary, unreleased plants.
This new Echinacea cultivar is distinguished by:
-
- 1. Very large, bright red-orange flowers
- 2. Well-branched upright flower stalks
- 3. Excellent vigor
This new cultivar has been reproduced only by asexual propagation (division and tissue culture). Each of the progeny exhibits identical characteristics to the original plant. Asexual propagation by division and tissue culture using standard micropropagation techniques with terminal and lateral shoots, as done in Canby, Oreg., shows that the foregoing characteristics and distinctions come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations. The present invention has not been evaluated under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary with variations in environment without a change in the genotype of the plant.
The following is a detailed description of the new Echinacea cultivar based on observations of a 9-month-old specimen growing in the ground in full sun under typical outdoor conditions in Canby, Oreg. Canby is in Zone 8 on the USDA Hardiness map. Temperatures range from a high of 95 degrees F. in August to an average of 32 degrees F. in January. Normal rainfall in Canby is 42.8 inches per year in the trial fields in Canby, Oreg. The color descriptions are all based on The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart.

-
- Disease and pests: Echinacea are susceptible to leaf miners, powdery mildew, bacterial spots, and gray mold. None of these have been observed on plants grown under commercial conditions in Canby, Oreg. No resistance is known.
Compared to Echinacea ‘Ruby Giant’ (unpatented), the original seed parent in the breeding line, the new variety has red-orange rather than red-purple flowers.
Compared to Echinacea paradoxa, an unpatented plant and the original pollen parent in the breeding line, the new variety is shorter, red-orange rather than yellow, with more ray florets, and with ray florets slightly rather than strongly reflexed.
Compared to Echinacea ‘Sunset’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 16,424), the new variety has larger and brighter red-colored ray florets.
