Abstract
A new cultivar of Gentiana makinoi named ‘Magic Purple’, characterized by its large, deep violet blue flowers borne on thick, strong, dark purple-black stems combined with a uniform and upright plant, a vigorous growth habit, and suitability for use as a cut flower.
Description
Botanical classification: Gentiana makinoi.
Varietal denomination: ‘Magic Purple’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Gentiana makinoi and will be referred to hereafter by its cultivar name, ‘Magic Purple’. ‘Magic Purple’ represents a new Gentian, an herbaceous perennial grown for landscape use.
The inventor discovered the new cultivar, ‘Magic Purple’, as a chance seedling that arose in a cultivated area in his nursery in Reeuwijk, The Netherlands in the summer of 2005. Although the parentage is unknown, the characteristics of the new cultivar and the presence of the cultivar Gentiana makinoi ‘Royal Blue’ (not patented) in the nursery suggest that ‘Royal Blue’ is a likely parent.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar was first accomplished by in vitro propagation under the direction of the inventor in Rijswijk, The Netherlands in 2005. It has been determined that the characteristics of the new cultivar are stable and are reproduced true to type in successive generations.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and represent the characteristics of the new cultivar after observing plants grown outdoors in a field for two years in Reeuwijk, The Netherlands. These attributes in combination distinguish ‘Magic Purple’ from ‘Royal Blue’ and all other varieties of Gentians known to the inventor.
-
- 1. ‘Magic Purple’ exhibits large, deep violet blue colored flowers.
- 2. ‘Magic Purple’ exhibits dark black-purple stems and peduncle.
- 3. ‘Magic Purple’ exhibits strong, thick stems.
- 4. ‘Magic Purple’ exhibits stems that are uniform in height and about 115 cm in height.
- 5. The flowering stems of ‘Magic Purple’ make suitable cut flowers.
- 6. ‘Magic Purple’ has a vigorous growth habit.
‘Magic Purple’ differs from its probable parent plant, ‘Royal Blue’ in having flowers that are more purple and deeper in color and in having thicker, black-purple stems. ‘Magic Purple’ can be most closely compared to the cultivar ‘Marsha’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. PP16,562). ‘Magic Purple’ has similar flowers to ‘Marsha’, however the flowers of ‘Magic Purple’ are more purple in color and ‘Marsha’ has a compact vase-shaped plant habit with an average height of 40 cm and stem that are not dark purple in color.
The plants and plant parts in the photographs were taken of two-year old plants of ‘Magic Purple’ as grown outdoors in a field plot in Reeuwijk, The Netherlands.
The photograph in FIG. 1 provides an overall view of the new Gentian in bloom.
The photograph in FIG. 2 provides a close-up view of the flowers of ‘Magic Purple’.
The colors in the photographs are as close as possible with the photographic and printing technology utilized. The color values cited in the detailed botanical description accurately describe the colors of the new Gentian.
The following is a detailed description of two year-old plants the new cultivar as grown in a field in Reeuwijk, The Netherlands under natural light with average day temperatures ranging from 15° to 27° C. and average night temperatures ranging from 7° to 18° C. The phenotype of the new cultivar may vary with variations in environmental, climatic, and cultural conditions, as it has not been tested under all possible environmental conditions. The color determination is in accordance with the 2001 R.H.S. Colour Chart of the Royal Horticultural Society, London, England, except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
