Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Salvia plant named ‘Flosalg03’, characterized by its compact and upright plant habit; freely branching habit; freely flowering habit; long flowering period; and purple violet-colored flowers.
Description
Botanical designation: Salvia greggii.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Flosalg03’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Salvia, botanically known as Salvia greggii and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Flosalg03’.
The new Salvia is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Gauteng, South Africa. The objective of the program is to create and develop new compact Salvia cultivars with a long and freely flowering habit.
The new Salvia originated from a cross-pollination by the Inventor in January, 2000 of a proprietary selection of Salvia greggii identified as code number SG7287, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Salvia greggii identified as code number SG7894, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Salvia was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled environment in Gauteng, South Africa in October, 2000.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by vegetative cuttings in Gauteng, South Africa since April, 2001, has shown that the unique features of this new Salvia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the cultivar Flosalg03 have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature 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 ‘Flosalg03’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Flosalg03’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
-
- 1. Compact and upright plant habit.
- 2. Freely branching habit.
- 3. Freely flowering habit.
- 4. Long flowering period.
- 5. Purple violet-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Salvia differ from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Salvia are taller than plants of the female parent selection.
- 2. Plants of the new Salvia are not as freely branching as plants of the female parent selection.
- 3. Plants of the new Salvia and the female parent selection differ in flower color as plants of the female parent selection have white-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Salvia differ from plants of the male parent selection in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Salvia are shorter than plants of the male parent selection.
- 2. Plants of the new Salvia are more freely branching than plants of the male parent selection.
- 3. Plants of the new Salvia and the male parent selection differ in flower color as plants of the male parent selection have dark blue-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Salvia can be compared to plants of the cultivar Navaho Deep Purple, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in Lompoc, Calif., plants of the new Salvia differed from plants of the cultivar Navaho Deep Purple in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Salvia were more compact than plants of the cultivar Navaho Deep Purple.
- 2. Plants of the new Salvia were more freely branching than plants of the cultivar Navaho Deep Purple.
- 3. Plants of the new Salvia flowered for a longer period of time than plants of the cultivar Navaho Deep Purple.
- 4. Plants of the new Salvia and the cultivar Navaho Deep Purple differed in flower color as plants of the cultivar Navaho Deep Purple had dark purple-colored flowers.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new cultivar, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the actual colors of the new Salvia.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Flosalg03’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the top of the sheet is a close-up view of a typical flower of ‘Flosalg03’.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 1995 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. Plants used for the aforementioned photographs and following description were grown under conditions which closely approximate commercial production conditions during the winter and spring in a polycarbonate-covered greenhouse in Lompoc, Calif. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 21° C. to 24° C., night temperatures ranged from 16° C. to 18° C. and light levels ranged from 4,000 to 8,000 foot-candles. Plants were pinched one time about four weeks after planting. Plants used for the photographs and description were about 18 weeks old.
