Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Nemesia plant named ‘GG Pearl’, characterized by its compact, upright and mounded growth habit; freely branching habit; freely flowering habit; long flowering period; light pink-colored flowers; and good garden performance.
Description
Botanical designation: Nemesia hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘GG Pearl’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Nemesia, botanically known as Nemesia hybrida and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘GG Pearl’.
The new Nemesia plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Hiratuka, Kanagawa, Japan. The objective of the breeding program is to create new compact, mounding and freely-branching Nemesia cultivars with attractive flower coloration.
The new Nemesia plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in November, 2005 in Hiratuka, Kanagawa, Japan of a proprietary selection of Nemesia hybrida identified as code number TNW-5, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with Nemesia hybrida ‘Pensug’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 12,811), not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Nemesia 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 Hiratuka, Kanagawa, Japan in April, 2006.
Asexual reproduction of the new Nemesia plant by vegetative cuttings in a controlled environment in Hiratuka, Kanagawa, Japan since April, 2006, has shown that the unique features of this new Nemesia are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the new Nemesia 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 ‘GG Pearl’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘GG Pearl’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Nemesia:
-
- 1. Compact, upright and mounded growth habit.
- 2. Freely branching habit.
- 3. Freely flowering habit.
- 4. Long flowering period.
- 5. Light pink-colored flowers.
- 6. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Nemesia can be compared to plants of the female parent selection. Plants of the new Nemesia differ from plants of the female parent selection primarily in flower color as plants of the female parent selection have purplish white-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Nemesia can be compared to plants of the male parent, ‘Pensug’. Plants of the new Nemesia differ from plants of ‘Pensug’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Nemesia are more compact than plants of ‘Pensug’.
- 2. Plants of the new Nemesia are more freely branching than plants of ‘Pensug’.
- 3. Plants of the new Nemesia and ‘Pensug’ differ in flower color as plants of ‘Pensug’ have white-colored flowers.
Plants ofthe new Nemesia can also be compared to plants of ‘Puffy White Eye’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in Hiratuka, Kanagawa, Japan, plants of the new Nemesia differed from plants of ‘Puffy White Eye’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Nemesia were more compact and mounding than plants of ‘Puffy White Eye’.
- 2. Plants of the new Nemesia were more freely branching than plants of ‘Puffy White Eye’.
- 3. Plants of the new Nemesia had larger inflorescences and flowers than plants of ‘Puffy White Eye’.
- 4. Plants of the new Nemesia and ‘Puffy White Eye’ differed in flower color as plants of ‘Puffy White Eye’ had light violet-colored flowers.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Nemesia plant, 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 Nemesia.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘GG Pearl’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet is a close-up view of typical flowers of ‘GG Pearl’.
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in Hiratuka, Kanagawa, Japan, under commercial practice during the winter and early spring in a glass-covered greenhouse with day temperatures ranging from 12° C. to 20° C. and night temperatures ranging from 5° C. to 8° C. Plants had been growing for four months when the photographs and description were taken.
