Abstract

A new cultivar of Xerochrysum named ‘KLEBB08398’ particularly characterized by a very early flowering response, brilliant orange inflorescences, and an upright, compact and harmonic growth habit, is disclosed.

Description

Genus and species: Xerochrysum bracteata.
Variety Denomination: ‘KLEBB08398’.
BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Xerochrysum, botanically known as Xerochrysum bracteata (previously Bracteantha bracteata), and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘KLEBB08398’. ‘KLEBB08398’ was discovered as a seedling resulting from an open pollination in Summer 2005 in Stuttgart, Germany between the proprietary female Xerochrysum parent, ‘Mohave Grande Orange’ (unpatented) and an unknown male parent. A single plant selection was subsequently chosen for further evaluation and for asexual propagation.
The new cultivar was first propagated in May 2006 by vegetative cuttings in Stuttgart, Germany and has been asexually reproduced repeatedly by vegetative cuttings in Stuttgart, Germany over a two and one-half-year period (approximately 4 to 5 generations). ‘KLEBB08398’ has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive asexual propagations.
Plant Breeder's Rights for this cultivar have been applied for in Canada on Mar. 31, 2008. ‘KLEBB08398’ has not been made publicly available more than one year prior to the filing date of this application.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The following are the most outstanding and distinguishing characteristics of this new cultivar when grown under normal commercial practices in a greenhouse in Stuttgart, Germany.
    • 1. A very early flowering response;
    • 2. Brilliant orange inflorescences; and
    • 3. An upright, compact and harmonic growth habit.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
This new Xerochrysum plant is illustrated by the accompanying photograph which shows a close-up of the mature inflorescence. The colors shown are as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures.
The photograph is of a plant about 4-months old and grown from rooted cuttings in a 12-cm pot under greenhouse (glasshouse) in Stuttgart, Germany under conditions which approximate those generally used in commercial practice.
 DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW CULTIVAR
The following detailed descriptions set forth the distinctive characteristics of ‘KLEBB08398’. The data which define these characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried out in Stuttgart, Germany. The plant history was taken on 3-month old plants in 12-cm pots that were pinched once approximately 10 days after planting and grown in a greenhouse in April. The color readings were determined under natural light. Color references are to The R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London (R.H.S). (2001).
