Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Hibiscus plant named ‘Lillikoi Yellow’, characterized by its compact, upright, somewhat outwardly spreading, uniformly rounded and dense plant habit that is appropriate for container production; glossy dark green-colored leaves; uniform, freely and early flowering habit; large bright yellow-colored flowers with dark red-colored centers; and good postproduction and garden performance.
Description
Botanical designation: Hibiscus rosa-sinensis.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Lillikoi Yellow’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Hibiscus, botanically known as Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Lillikoi Yellow’.
The new Hibiscus is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Alva, Fla. The objective of the breeding program is to create new freely-branching Hibiscus cultivars with a dense, uniform and compact plant habit appropriate for container production, early and uniform flowering, numerous flowers per lateral branch, desirable flower color and good garden performance.
The new Hibiscus originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in Alva, Fla. in February, 2004, of a proprietary selection of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis identified as code number YB-2222, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with Hibiscus rosa-sinensis ‘YOHIB 2362’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 17,623, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Hibiscus was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled greenhouse environment in Alva, Fla. on Aug. 23, 2005.
Asexual reproduction of the new Hibiscus by vegetative terminal cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in Alva, Fla. since February, 2006, has shown that the unique features of this new Hibiscus are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the new Hibiscus 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 ‘Lillikoi Yellow’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Lillikoi Yellow’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Hibiscus:
-
- 1. Compact, upright, somewhat outwardly spreading, uniformly rounded and dense plant habit that is appropriate for container production.
- 2. Glossy dark green-colored leaves.
- 3. Uniform, freely and early flowering habit.
- 4. Large bright yellow-colored flowers with dark red-colored centers.
- 5. Good postproduction and garden performance.
Plants of the new Hibiscus can be compared to plants of the female parent selection. Plants of the new Hibiscus differ from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plant of the new Hibiscus are more upright and not as outwardly spreading and open as plants of the female parent selection.
- 2. Plants of the new Hibiscus are stronger than plants of the female parent selection.
Plants of the new Hibiscus can be compared to plants of the male parent, ‘YOHIB 2362’. Plants of the new Hibiscus differ from plants of ‘YOHIB 2362’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Hibiscus are more compact and more rounded than plants of ‘YOHIB 2362’.
- 2. Plants of the new Hibiscus have smaller flowers than plants of ‘YOHIB 2362’.
Plants of the new Hibiscus can be compared to plants of the Hibiscus rosa-sinensis ‘Chiffon Wind’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 17,606. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Alva, Fla., plants of the new Hibiscus differed from plants of ‘Chiffon Wind’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Hibiscus were more vigorous than plants of ‘Chiffon Wind’.
- 2. Plants of the new Hibiscus and ‘Chiffon Wind’ differed in flower color as plants of ‘Chiffon Wind’ had lighter yellow-colored flowers.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Hibiscus, 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 colors of the new Hibiscus.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of typical flowering plants of ‘Lillikoi Yellow’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a close-up view of a typical flower of ‘Lillikoi Yellow’.
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in Alva, Fla. in 15-cm containers in polycarbonate-covered greenhouses during the summer under conditions which closely approximate commercial production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from about 35° C. to about 38° C. and night temperatures ranged from about 20° C. to about 21° C. Plants had been growing for 15 weeks when the photographs and the description were taken. In the description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2001 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
