Abstract

A new Argyranthemum plant particularly distinguished by its large pink inflorescences, a semi-compact and full plant habit, light green foliage and good vigor is disclosed.

Description

Genus and species: Argyranthemum frutescens.
Variety denomination: ‘Sas Pinka’.
BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Argyranthemum, botanically known as Argyranthemum frutescens, and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Sas Pinka’. The new cultivar originated from a hybridization made in August 2003 in Andijk, The Netherlands. The female parent was the light-pink flowered Argyranthemum proprietary line ‘AR03-159-1’ (unpatented), and the male parent was the pink flowered Argyranthemum proprietary line ‘AR02-39-1’ (unpatented). The seeds produced by the hybridization were sown in January 2004 in Andijk, The Netherlands. A single plant selection was chosen for further evaluation and for asexual propagation in May 2004 in Andijk, The Netherlands.
The new cultivar was created in 2003 in Andijk, The Netherlands and has been asexually reproduced repeatedly by vegetative cuttings and tissue culture in Andijk, The Netherlands and Hillscheid, Germany over a three-year period. The plant has also been trialed at Gilroy, Calif., Andijk, The Netherlands and Hillscheid, Germany. The present invention has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive asexual propagations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The following are the most outstanding and distinguishing characteristics of this new cultivar when grown under normal horticultural practices in Gilroy, Calif.
    • 1. Large, pink inflorescences;
    • 2. A semi-compact and full plant habit;
    • 3. Light green foliage; and
    • 4. Good plant vigor.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
This new Argranthemum plant is illustrated by the accompanying photographs which show overall plant habit including blooms, buds, and foliage of the plant; the colors shown are as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures.
FIG. 1 Overall plant habit including blooms, buds, and foliage of the plant grown outside in a 10-inch basket in the summer in Andijk, The Netherlands in August.
FIG. 2 Close-up of a 3 to 4 month old plant grown in a 5-inch pot in a greenhouse in Andijk, The Netherlands in May.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW CULTIVAR
The following detailed descriptions set forth the distinctive characteristics of ‘Sas Pinka’. The data which define these characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried out in Hillscheid, Germany. The plant history was taken on 16-week-old plants grown in 12-inch pots in the spring in a greenhouse. Two terminal pinches and one plant growth regulator treatment was made at a young plant stage. Color readings were taken in the greenhouse in May under natural light. Color references are primarily to the R.H.S., Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London (R.H.S.) (2001 edition). Texture description details were observed under a dissecting microscope.
