Abstract
A new and distinct Salvia cultivar named ‘CATHEDRAL SKY BLUE’ is disclosed, characterized by having distinctive light lavender flowers, a compact, very well-branched plant habit, shortened panicle and early, flowering. The new variety is a Salvia, normally produced as an outdoor garden or container plant.
Description
Latin name of the genus and species: Salvia farinacea.
Varietal denomination: ‘CATHEDRAL SKY BLUE’.
The new cultivar was discovered as a spontaneous whole plant mutation by the inventor, Steve Jones. The parent variety is the unpatented, variety Salvia farinacea ‘Signum’. The new variety was discovered as a naturally occurring, whole plant mutation January 2000, by the inventor in a commercial planting of approximately 100,000 plants of Salvia farinacea ‘Signum’ in Quillota, Chile.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar ‘CATHEDRAL SKY BLUE’ by vegetative cuttings was first performed January 2000, at a commercial greenhouse in Quillota, Chile and has shown that the unique features of this cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type on successive generations.
The cultivar ‘CATHEDRAL SKY BLUE’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature, day length, 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 ‘CATHEDRAL SKY BLUE’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘CATHEDRAL SKY BLUE’ as a new and distinct Salvia cultivar:
-
- 1. Compact plant habit.
- 2. Distinctly unique soft lavender flowers.
- 3. Shortened panicle.
- 4. Early flowering.
Plants of the new cultivar ‘CATHEDRAL SKY BLUE’ are similar to plants of the parent, Salvia farinacea ‘Signum’ in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new cultivar ‘CATHEDRAL SKY BLUE’ are shorter. Additionally, flowers of the parent variety are dark blue, whereas, the new variety produces distinct, soft lavender flowers, and have a longer panicle.
Plant of the new cultivar are best compared to the commercial variety Salvia farinacea ‘Victoria’ an unpatented and widely available variety. Plants of the new variety are significantly shorter and more compact. ‘CATHEDRAL SKY BLUE’ also blooms earlier than ‘Victoria.’ Additionally, flowers of the new variety are lighter colored than ‘Victoria’.
The accompanying photograph in FIG. 1 illustrates in full color a typical plant of ‘CATHEDRAL SKY BLUE’ grown in a greenhouse, in Lompoc, Calif. in a commercial 6 cell pack. Age of the plant photographed is 12 weeks from an unrooted cutting.
The photographs were taken using conventional techniques and although colors may appear different from actual colors due to light reflectance it is as accurate as possible by conventional photographic techniques.
In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The following observations and measurements describe ‘CATHEDRAL SKY BLUE’ plants grown in a greenhouse in Lompoc, Calif. The growing temperature ranged from 20° C. to 28° C. The greenhouse is un-shaded, giving bright, normal sunlight conditions. Measurements and numerical values represent averages of typical plant types.
