Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Echinacea plant named ‘Hot Papaya’, characterized by it upright plant habit; moderately vigorous growth habit; strong and thick flowering stems; freely basal branching habit; and large anemone-type inflorescences with orange red-colored ray and disc florets.

Description

Botanical designation: Echinacea hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘HOT PAPAYA’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Echinacea plant, botanically known as Echinacea hybrida, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Hot Papaya’.
The new Echinacea plant originated from an open-pollination in 2005 in Vleuten, The Netherlands of a proprietary selection of Echinacea hybrida identified as code number Ec 512-17, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with an unknown selection of Echinacea hybrida as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Echinacea was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated open-pollination grown in an outdoor nursery environment in Zuidwolde, The Netherlands in July, 2007.
Asexual reproduction of the new Echinacea plant by micropropagation a controlled greenhouse environment in Enkhuizen, The Netherlands since November, 2007, has shown that the unique features of this new Echinacea plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Echinacea have 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 ‘Hot Papaya’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Hot Papaya’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Echinacea:
    • 1. Upright plant habit.
    • 2. Moderately vigorous growth habit.
    • 3. Strong and thick flowering stems.
    • 4. Freely basal branching habit.
    • 5. Large anemone-type inflorescences with orange red-colored ray and disc florets.
Plants of the new Echinacea plant can be compared to plants of the female parent selection. Plants of the new Echinacea plant differ from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Echinacea are more freely branching than plants of the female parent selection.
    • 2. Plants of the new Echinacea have broader leaves than plants of the female parent selection.
    • 3. Plants of the new Echinacea have larger inflorescences than plants of the female parent selection.
Plants of the new Echinacea can be compared to plants of Echinacea hybrida ‘Razzmatazz’ , disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,894. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Echinacea differed from plants of ‘Razzmatazz’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Echinacea were more freely branching than plants of ‘Razzmatazz’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Echinacea had longer leaves than plants of ‘Razzmatazz’.
    • 3. Plants of the new Echinacea flowered earlier than plants of ‘Razzmatazz’.
    • 4. Plants of the new Echinacea and ‘Razzmatazz’ differed in floret coloration as plants of ‘Razzmatazz’ had dark pink-colored ray florets and red purple-colored disc florets.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Echinacea. 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 Echinacea.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of typical flowering stems of ‘Hot Papaya’.
The photograph at the top of the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical inflorescence of ‘Hot Papaya’.
The photograph at the bottom of the second sheet is a close-up view of the upper surface of a typical leaf of ‘Hot Papaya’.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Zuidwolde, The Netherlands during the summer in an outdoor nursery and under conditions and practices which approximate those generally used in commercial Echinacea production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 12° C. to 30° C. and night temperatures ranged from 3° C. to 14° C. Measurements and numerical values represent averages for typical flowering plants. Plants had been growing for six months 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.
