Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Alternanthera plant named ‘Raspberry Rum’, characterized by its upright to outwardly spreading and mounding plant habit; freely branching habit; dense and bushy growth habit; strong and healthy leaves; leaves that are hot pink and brown in color; good garden performance; and resistance to leaf spot pathogens.
Description
Botanical designation: Alternanthera ficoidea.
Cultivar denomination: ‘Raspberry Rum’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Alternanthera plant, botanically known as Alternanthera ficoidea and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Raspberry Rum’.
The new Alternanthera plant is a naturally-occurring branch mutation of Alternanthera ficoidea ‘Cognac’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 16,411. The new Alternanthera plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor from within a population of plants of ‘Cognac’ in a controlled greenhouse environment in Alpharetta, Ga. during the summer of 2005.
Asexual reproduction of the new Alternanthera plant by vegetative cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in Alpharetta, Ga. since July, 2005, has shown that the unique features of this new Alternanthera plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the new Alternanthera 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 ‘Raspberry Rum’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Raspberry Rum’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Alternanthera:
-
- 1. Upright to outwardly spreading and mounding plant habit.
- 2. Freely branching habit; dense and bushy growth habit.
- 3. Strong and healthy leaves.
- 4. Leaves that are hot pink and brown in color.
- 5. Good garden performance.
- 6. Resistant to leaf spot pathogens.
Plants of the new Alternanthera differ primarily from plants of the parent, ‘Cognac’, in leaf color as plants of ‘Cognac’ have brown-colored leaves.
Plants of the new Alternanthera can be compared to plants of Alternanthera ficoidea ‘Grenadine’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 16,442. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Alpharetta, Ga., plants of the new Alternanthera differed from plants of ‘Grenadine’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Alternanthera were more upright than and not as mounding as plants of ‘Grenadine’.
- 2. Plants of the new Alternanthera had larger leaves than plants of ‘Grenadine’.
- 3. Plants of the new Alternanthera and ‘Grenadine’ differed in leaf color as plants of ‘Grenadine’ had brown and red purple-colored leaves.
Plants of the new Alternanthera can be compared to plants of Alternanthera ficoidea‘Partytime’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 14,789. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Alpharetta, Ga., plants of the new Alternanthera differed from plants of ‘Partytime’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Alternanthera were more upright than and not as trailing as plants of ‘Partytime’.
- 2. Plants of the new Alternanthera and ‘Partytime’ differed in leaf color as plants of ‘Partytime’ had green, creamy white and red purple-colored leaves.
The accompanying colored photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new Alternanthera, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photograph may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Alternanthera. The photograph comprises a top perspective view of a typical plant of ‘Raspberry Rum’ grown in a ground bed in an outdoor nursery.
The aforementioned photograph and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown during the summer in an outdoor nursery in north central Texas. Plants had been growing for six months in the outdoor nursery when the photograph 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.
