Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Petunia plant named ‘Kumiyama 4’, characterized by its compact, upright, outwardly spreading and mounding plant habit; freely branching and flowering plant habit; and medium-sized light violet-colored flowers with darker violet-colored random sectors and venation.
Description
Botanical designation: Petunia×hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘KUMIYAMA 4’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Petunia, botanically known as Petunia×hybrida and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Kumiyama 4’.
The new Petunia is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Kyoto, Japan. The objective of the breeding program is to create new Petunia cultivars with large and uniquely colored flowers.
The new Petunia originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in Kyoto, Japan in April, 2002, of a proprietary selection of Petunia×hybrida identified as code number NA-15, not patented, as the female, or seed parent with the Petunia×hybrida cultivar Avalanche White, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The cultivar Kumiyama 4 was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Kyoto, Japan.
Asexual reproduction of the new Petunia by terminal cuttings in a controlled environment in Kyoto, Japan since April, 2005, has shown that the unique features of this new Petunia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The cultivar Kumiyama 4 has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment and cultural practices such as temperature, daylength 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 ‘Kumiyama 4’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Kumiyama 4’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Petunia:
-
- 1. Compact, upright, outwardly spreading and mounding plant habit.
- 2. Freely branching and flowering plant habit.
- 3. Medium-sized light violet-colored flowers with darker violet-colored random sectors and venation.
Plants of the new Petunia can be compared to plants of the female parent selection. Plants of the new Petunia differ from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Petunia are more spreading than plants of the female parent selection.
- 2. Plants of the new Petunia have shorter internodes than plants of the female parent selection.
- 3. Plants of the new Petunia have smaller flowers than plants of the female parent selection.
- 4. Plants of the new Petunia and the parent selection differ in flower color as plants of the female parent selection have violet-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Petunia can be compared to plants of the male parent, the cultivar Avalanche White. Plants of the new Petunia differ from plants of the cultivar Avalanche White in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Petunia are more spreading than and not as decumbent as plants of the cultivar Avalanche White.
- 2. Plants of the new Petunia and the parent selection differ in flower color as plants of the cultivar Avalanche White have white-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Petunia can also be compared to plants of the cultivar Sunsurfbv, disclosed in U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 11/264,781. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Kyoto, Japan, plants of the new Petunia and the cultivar Sunsurfbv differed in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Petunia were more spreading than and not as decumbent as plants of the cultivar Sunsurfbv.
- 2. Plants of the new Petunia had larger flowers than plants of the cultivar Sunsurfbv.
- 3. Plants of the new Petunia and the cultivar Sunsurfbv differed in flower color.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Petunia, 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 Petunia.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Kumiyama 4’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a close-up view of a typical flower of ‘Kumiyama 4’.
The photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in Shiga, Japan, under commercial practice during the autumn in a polyethylene-covered greenhouse. During the production of the plants, day temperatures averaged 23° C. and night temperatures averaged 13° C. Plants were grown for three months with one plant per 13.5-cm container. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2001 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
