Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Eryngium plant named ‘EPTJ’, characterized by its compact and upright plant habit; moderately vigorous growth habit; freely branching habit; and single blue-colored flowers arranged on dense flower heads.
Description
Botanical designation: Eryngium planum
Cultivar denomination: ‘EPTJ’
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Eryngium plant, botanically known as Eryngium planum, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘EPTJ’.
The new Eryngium plant was discovered by the Inventors in a controlled outdoor nursery environment in Rijswijk, The Netherlands, in April, 2007, as a naturally-occurring whole plant mutation of the Eryngium planum ‘Paradise Jackpot’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 18,942. The new Eryngium plant was observed as a single plant from within a population of plants of ‘Paradise Jackpot’. The selection of this plant was based on its unique inflorescence form.
Asexual reproduction of the new Eryngium plant by cuttings in a controlled environment in Rijswijk, The Netherlands since June, 2007, has shown that the unique features of this new Eryngium plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the new Eryngium 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 ‘EPTJ’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘EPTJ’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Eryngium:
-
- 1. Compact and upright plant habit.
- 2. Moderately vigorous growth habit.
- 3. Freely branching habit.
- 4. Single blue-colored flowers on dense flower heads.
Plants of the new Eryngium differ from plants of the parent, ‘Paradise Jackpot’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Eryngium are more compact than plants of ‘Paradise Jackpot’.
- 2. Plants of the new Eryngium are easier to propagate than plants of ‘Paradise Jackpot’.
Plants of the new Eryngium can also be compared to plants of the Eryngium planum ‘Blue Hobit’, not patented. Plants of the new Eryngium differ from plants of ‘Blue Hobit’ primarily in plant habit as plants of the new Eryngium are more uniform in plant habit than plants of ‘Blue Hobit’.
The accompanying photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Eryngium plant. The photographs show 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 Eryngium plant. The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘EPTJ’ grown in an outdoor nursery. The photograph at the top of the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical inflorescence of ‘EPTJ’. The photograph at the bottom of the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical leaf of ‘EPTJ’.
The aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Rijswijk, The Netherlands during the summer in an outdoor nursery and under conditions and practices which approximate those generally used in commercial Eryngium production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 12° C. to 28° C. and night temperatures ranged from 4° C. to 15° C. Measurements and numerical values represent averages for typical flowering plants. Plants had been growing for one year when the photographs and description were taken. 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.
