Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Petunia plant named ‘Fort Purple Vein’, characterized by its upright to outwardly spreading and mounded growth habit; freely branching habit; freely flowering habit; large light violet-colored flowers with prominent dark violet-colored venation; and good garden performance.
Description
Botanical designation: Petunia×hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Fort Purple Vein’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Petunia, botanically known as Petunia×hybrida and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Fort Purple Vein’.
The new Petunia is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in De Lier, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program is to create new freely-branching Petunia cultivars with early and freely flowering habit, and unique and attractive flower color.
The new Petunia originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in 2006 in De Lier, The Netherlands of two unnamed proprietary seedling selections of Petunia×hybrida, not patented. The new Petunia was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled greenhouse environment in De Lier, The Netherlands in 2006.
Asexual reproduction of the new Petunia by terminal cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in De Lier, The Netherlands since 2007, has shown that the unique features of this new Petunia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the new Petunia have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment and cultural practices 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 ‘Fort Purple Vein’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Fort Purple Vein’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Petunia:
-
- 1. Upright to outwardly spreading and mounded growth habit.
- 2. Freely branching habit.
- 3. Freely flowering habit.
- 4. Large light violet-colored flowers with prominent dark violet-colored venation.
- 5. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Petunia can be compared to plants of the female parent selection. Plants of the new Petunia differ from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Petunia are more outwardly spreading than and not as upright as plants of the female parent selection.
- 2. Plants of the new Petunia and the female parent selection differ in flower color as plants of the female parent selection have pink-colored venation.
Plants of the new Petunia can be compared to plants of the male parent selection. Plants of the new Petunia differ primarily from plants of the male parent selection in time to flower as plants of the new Petunia flower earlier than plants of the male parent selection.
Plants of the new Petunia can be compared to plants of Petunia×hybrida ‘Fortunia Blue Vein’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in De Lier, The Netherlands, plants of the new Petunia differed from plants of ‘Fortunia Blue Vein’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Petunia were more upright than plants of ‘Fortunia Blue Vein’.
- 2. Flowers of plants of the new Petunia had more pronounced venation than flowers of ‘Fortunia Blue Vein’.
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new Petunia, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photograph may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Petunia. The photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Fort Purple Vein’ grown in a container.
The aforementioned photograph and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in De Lier, The Netherlands, under commercial practice during the spring and early summer in a glass-covered greenhouse with day and night temperatures averaging 18° C. Rooted young plants had been growing for twelve weeks when the photograph and description were taken. Plants used for the description were grown in 10.5-cm containers. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2001 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
