Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Lobelia plant named ‘Wespurstar’, characterized by its compact, spherical and trailing plant habit; vigorous growth habit; freely branching habit and short internodes; dense and bushy plant form; continuously and freely flowering habit; and intense purple-colored flowers.
Description
Botanical designation: Lobelia erinus.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Wespurstar’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Lobelia, botanically known as Lobelia erinus and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Wespurstar’.
The new Lobelia is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Südlohn, Germany. The objective of the breeding program is to create new Lobelia cultivars with good vigor and attractive flower coloration.
The new Lobelia originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in July, 2004 of Lobelia erinus ‘Wespinstar’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 17,963, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary seedling selection of Lobelia erinus identified as code number 04P721, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Lobelia was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant with the progeny of the stated cross-pollination grown in a controlled greenhouse environment in Südlohn, Germany in June, 2005.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar by terminal cuttings in Südlohn, Germany since 2005, has shown that the unique features of this new Lobelia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the cultivar Wespurstar 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 ‘Wespurstar’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Wespurstar’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Lobelia:
-
- 1. Compact, spherical and trailing plant habit.
- 2. Vigorous growth habit.
- 3. Freely branching habit and short internodes; dense and bushy plant form.
- 4. Continuously and freely flowering habit.
- 5. Intense purple-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Lobelia differ from plants of the female parent, ‘Wespinstar’, in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Lobelia were shorter than plants of ‘Wespinstar’.
- 2. Plants of the new Lobelia have larger leaves than plants of ‘Wespinstar’.
- 3. Flowers of plants of the new Lobelia are darker in color than flowers of plants of ‘Wespinstar’.
- 4. Flowers of plants of the new Lobelia have larger upper petals and sepals than flowers of plants of ‘Wespinstar’.
Plants of the new Lobelia differ from plants of the male parent selection in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Lobelia are more freely branching than plants of the male parent selection.
- 2. Flowers of plants of the new Lobelia have larger upper petals than flowers of plants of the male parent selection.
Plants of the new Lobelia can be compared to plants of Lobelia erinus ‘Hot Lilac’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Südlohn, Germany, plants of the new Lobelia differed from plants of ‘Hot Lilac’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Lobelia were smaller than plants of ‘Hot Lilac’.
- 2. Plants of the new Lobelia had larger and darker green-colored leaves than plants of ‘Hot Lilac’.
- 3. Plants of the new Lobelia had smaller flowers than plants of ‘Hot Lilac’.
- 4. Flowers of plants of the new Lobelia had larger upper petals than flowers of plants of the ‘Hot Lilac’.
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 Lobelia.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Wespurstar’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet is a close-up view of typical flowers of ‘Wespurstar’.
Plants used for the aforementioned photographs and following description were grown under conditions which closely approximate commercial production conditions during the spring and summer in a glass-covered greenhouse in Südlohn, Germany for 27 weeks in containers. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 20° C. to 25° C., night temperatures ranged from 16° C. to 18° C. and light levels ranged from 3,000 lux to 50,000 lux. Plants were pinched one time two weeks after planting. 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.
