Abstract

A new Lavandula plant, particularly distinguished by its blue flower color, early flowering without cold induction, and compact plant habit.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed: Lavandula angustifolia.
Varietal denomination: ‘Lablusa’.
BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention comprises a new distinct cultivar of Lavandula, botanically known as Lavandula angustifolia.
The new Lavandula was not discovered but is a product of a planned breeding program conducted in Enkhuizen, Netherlands. The new Lavandula cultivar has a compact plant habit, a blue-purple flower color, and is early flowering.
The new Lavandula is propagated by cuttings resulting from a single seedling. This seedling from a selection in Lavandula angustifolia ‘Hidcote Blue’ (not patented, a seed strain), identified as number ‘D804.’ A plant was selected in this strain and the seeds of this plant were harvested in the field. The female parent is known and the male parent is a “cloud” of pollen of the other plants. These seeds were sown and the same cycle was done: in this population one plant was selected and harvested, so pollinated again with a “cloud” of pollen. A third cycle was done the same way and the final seedling was selected. This took place from June 1998 until July 2000 in Enkhuizen, Netherlands. The seedling was selected in July 2001 in Enkhuizen in field conditions.
The present cultivar has been repeatedly asexually reproduced by cuttings in Enkhuizen, Netherlands, since 2001. The distinctive characteristics of this new Lavandula are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
The new Lavandula plant is a perennial in all climatic zones in the US.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
The new Lavandula 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 Lavandula. The data which define these characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried out in Enkhuizen, the 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 Lavandula differ primarily from the plants of the originator ‘Hidcote Blue’ in the following characteristics:
Plants of the new Lavandula flower much earlier than plants of the originator ‘Hidcote Blue.’ Plants of the new Lavandula do not need cold for flower induction, whereas plants of the originator ‘Hidcote Blue’ need cold for flower induction. Flower heads of the new Lavandula are bigger and bluer than flower heads of the originator ‘Hidcote Blue.’
