Abstract
A new and distinct Osteospermum plant cultivar is disclosed, characterized by small spoon daisy type inflorescences, freely flowering, compact growth habit, magenta inflorescences with a dark purple and violet underside and a dark purple center, and a high heat tolerance.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species: Osteospermum ecklonis.
Variety denomination: ‘DEL COM BW’.
The new cultivar ‘DEL COM BW’ is a product of open pollination in a heterogeneous population of Osteospermum mass selection in 2004. The exact parents are unknown even though ‘DEL COM BW’ is a product of open pollination. The new cultivar was discovered and selected by Markus Schmulling in June 2005 in Billerbeck, Germany.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar ‘DEL COM BW’ by cuttings from adventitious shoots was performed in Oxnard, Calif., and has shown that the unique features of this new cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type on successive generations.
The cultivar ‘DEL COM BW’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment 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 ‘DEL COM BW.’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘DEL COM BW’ as a new and distinct Osteospermum cultivar:
-
- 1. Small spoon daisy type inflorescence;
- 2. Freely flowering, compact growth habit;
- 3. Magenta inflorescences with a dark purple and violet underside and a dark purple center; and
- 4. A high heat tolerance.
Plants of the new cultivar differ from plants of the parent selections in growth habit and size, inflorescence size and level of heat tolerance.
In comparison to the commercially available variety ‘Balserlabli’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 16,509), ‘DEL COM BW’ has a more compact growth habit with more inflorescences per lateral branch. Additionally, ‘DEL COM BW’ has a smaller inflorescence diameter. Finally, the ray florets of ‘DEL COM BW’ are a more red-purple in color and the disc florets are dark purple compared to the lighter violet-blue disc florets of the comparable variety.
The accompanying photograph in FIG. 1 illustrates in full color a typical plant of ‘DEL COM BW’ grown in an outdoor garden. The growing temperature ranged from 12° C. to 15° C. at night to 12° C. to 20° C. during the day. The colors are as nearly true as is reasonably possible in a color representation of this type.
In the following description, color references are made to the Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The following observations and measurements describe ‘DEL COM BW’ plants grown in Oxnard, Ventura County, Calif., during the months of January through June in an outdoor garden. The growing temperature ranged from 12° C. to 15° C. at night to 12° C. to 20° C. during the day. Measurements and numerical values represent averages of typical flowering types.
