Abstract
A new and distinct Argyranthemum frutescens cultivar named ‘Arctic Butterfly’ is disclosed, characterized by white daisy type flowers having a diameter of at least 5 cm and a very well branched plant habit. The plant habit of the new variety is distinctive by producing more lateral branches than similar Argyranthemum frutescens with white ray florets. The new variety also produces more flowers in temperatures above 35° Celsius than similar Argyranthemum frutescens. The new variety is an Argyranthemum frutescens, and naturally blooms from Spring to early Fall.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species: Argyranthemum frutescens.
Variety denomination: ‘ARCTIC BUTTERFLY’.
The new variety was discovered, by the inventor, as a naturally occurring whole plant mutation in a grouping of more than 100 plants of the parent variety Argyranthemum frutescens ‘Butterfly,’ unpatented, in the United States. It was discovered by Douglas Cole in May 2003 at 251 North Village Road, Loudon, N.H., USA.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar ‘Arctic Butterfly’ by vegetative cuttings was performed in Loudon, N.H., USA beginning in June 2003 and has shown that the unique features of this cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations. Approximately 10 generations have been reproduced.
The cultivar ‘Arctic Butterfly’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, day length, 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 ‘Arctic Butterfly’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Arctic Butterfly’ as a new and distinct Argyranthemum cultivar:
-
- 1. The new variety has a more full growing habit than other white Argyranthemums used in pot production.
- 2. The new variety shows improved heat tolerance compared to other white Argyranthemum varieties. This includes higher flower production during the summer.
- 3. The new variety has longer ray florets than many of the white Argyranthemum varieties.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘Arctic Butterfly’ are similar to plants of the parent variety, Argyranthemum frutescens ‘Butterfly,’ in most horticultural characteristics; however, ray florets of the new cultivar ‘Arctic Butterfly’ are white, whereas the parent variety has yellow ray florets. Additionally, the new variety has narrower ray florets than the parent variety
Plants of the new cultivar ‘Arctic Butterfly’ are similar to plants of the commercial variety ‘Cobwhite,’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 17,103 in ray floret color. However, plants of the new cultivar ‘Arctic Butterfly’ differ in the following characteristics;
-
- 1. ‘Arctic Butterfly’ becomes larger in overall plant width during the growing season.
- 2. ‘Arctic Butterfly’ has a larger width inflorescence.
- 3. ‘Arctic Butterfly’ will continue to produce blooms at temperatures above 35° C. whereas ‘Cobwhite’ will stop producing blooms, or produce less than the new variety.
- 4. ‘Arctic Butterfly’ has longer ray florets.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘Arctic Butterfly’ are also similar to plants of the commercial variety ‘Danarnep’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,719 in ray floret color. However, plants of the new cultivar ‘Arctic Butterfly’ differ in the following characteristics;
-
- 1. ‘Arctic Butterfly’ has a wider diameter inflorescence.
- 2. ‘Arctic Butterfly’ does not exhibit yellow foliage characteristic on new growth that ‘Danarnep’ often shows.
- 3. ‘Arctic Butterfly’ will continue to produce a consistent amount of blooms at temperatures above 35° C. whereas ‘Darnarnep’ will produce less blooms under similar conditions than the new variety.
- 4. ‘Arctic Butterfly’ has longer ray florets.
The accompanying photograph in FIG. 1 illustrates in full color a typical plant of ‘Arctic Butterfly’ grown in a greenhouse. The pot size is a commercial 1 gallon container, approximately 17 cm tall and 15 cm in diameter. The plant shown is approximately 20 weeks old. The photograph was taken using conventional techniques and although colors may appear different from actual colors due to light reflectance it is as accurate as possible by conventional photographic techniques.
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.
