Abstract
A new Helichrysum plant particularly distinguished by its pink flower buds and by its good tolerance to powdery mildews, is disclosed.
Description
Genus and species: Helichrysum×amorginum.
Variety denomination: ‘Pink Sapphire’.
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Helichrysum, botanically known as Helichrysum×amorginum and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘Pink Sapphire’. The new cultivar originated from a hybridization made in Derby, Chaddesden, United Kingdom in April 2000. The female parent was the Helichrysum plant ‘Ruby Cluster’ (unpatented) while the male parent was an unnamed individual plant of Helichrysum amorginum (unpatented).
In March 2001 a single plant was selected for its pink flower buds. This selection was asexually propagated by vegetative cuttings and further evaluated in Derby, Chaddesden, United Kingdom to confirm the uniformity and stability of its characteristics. The present invention has been asexually propagated over three generations and has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive asexual propagations.
Plant Breeder's Rights for this cultivar were applied for in the European Union on Mar. 1, 2007. ‘Pink Sapphire’ has not been made publicly available more than one year prior to filing of this application.
The following are the most outstanding and distinguishing characteristics of this new cultivar when grown under normal horticultural practices in Derby, Chaddesden, and Bressingham, United Kingdom.
-
- 1. Pink flower buds; and
- 2. Good tolerance to powdery mildews.
This new Helichrysum plant is illustrated by the accompanying photographs which show overall plant habit including foliage and flower buds; the colors shown are as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures. The photographs are of a one-year-old plant.
The following detailed descriptions set forth the distinctive characteristics of ‘Pink Sapphire’. The data which define these characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried out in Bressingham, United Kingdom. The plant history was taken on one-year-old plants grown outdoors in a 3-liter container; no growth retardants were used. The range of daytime temperatures was 80° C. to 30° C while the range of nighttime temperatures was 30° C. to 15° C. Color readings were taken outdoors under natural light. Color references are primarily to the R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London (R.H.S.) (2001 edition).
