Abstract

A new Penstemon plant particularly distinguished by its pinkish-white flower color, early flowering, and good branching habit.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed: Penstemon hartwegii.
Varietal denomination: ‘Penharwi’.
BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention comprises a new distinct cultivar of Penstemon, botanically known as Penstemon hartwegii.
The new Penstemon is a product of a planned breeding program conducted in Enkhuizen, Netherlands. The new Penstemon cultivar has a well branched plant habit, a white to light pink flower color, and is early flowering.
The new Penstemon is propagated by cuttings resulting from a single seedling. This seedling originates from a selection in Penstemon hartwegii ‘Gigant’ (not patented), identified as number ‘G4915.’ An inbred was made of this selection through one cycle of half sib selection (several selections are planted together and are pollinated with the total cloud of pollen of all of these plants, but are harvested per female plant). This was done in the period of June 2003 until November 2003 in Enkhuizen, Netherlands. The seeds of this half sib selection were sown in January 2004 and the seedling was selected in July 2004 in Enkhuizen.
The present cultivar has been repeatedly asexually reproduced by cuttings in Enkhuizen, Netherlands, since 2004. The distinctive characteristics of this new Penstemon are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
The new Penstemon plant is a perennial in zones 4 to 9 in the US.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
The new Penstemon plant is illustrated by the accompanying photographic drawing which shows blooms, buds and foliage of the plant in full color, the color showing being as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures.
 BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PLANT
The following detailed descriptions set forth the distinctive characteristics of this new Penstemon. The data which defines these characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried out in Enkhuizen, Netherlands. The plant history was taken on 15 week old plants. The instant plant was grown in an 11 cm container in an outdoor container field.
Color references are primarily to the R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London.
Plants of the new Penstemon differ primarily from the plants of the originator ‘Gigant’ in the following characteristics:
Plants of the new Penstemon start flowering earlier and are more branched than plants of the originator ‘Gigant.’
