Abstract
A new cultivar of Petunia plant named ‘A-5’ that is characterized by large numbers of white flowers, good cold temperature tolerance, a prostrate, spreading habit, a short crop time, and the absence of pollen.
Description
Botanical classification: Petunia hybrida.
Variety denomination: ‘A-5’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Petunia plant botanically known as Petunia hybrida and hereinafter referred to by the cultivar name ‘A-5’.
The new Petunia is the product of a planned breeding program conducted by the inventor in Sarno, Italy. The objective of the breeding program is to create new Petunia cultivars with attractive colors that are male sterile.
‘A-5’ is a hybrid that originated from a crossing in 2008 of the female or seed parent a proprietary Petunia identified as AS506 (not patented) and the male or pollen parent a proprietary Petunia identified as 2002W 4-3 (not patented). The resulting seeds were subsequently planted and grown. The cultivar ‘A-5’ was selected by the inventor in 2008 as a single plant within the progeny of the stated cross in Sarno, Italy.
Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar ‘A-5’ first occurred by terminal cuttings in 2008 in Sarno, Italy. Since that time, under careful observation, the unique characteristics of the new cultivar have been uniform, stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.
The following represent the distinguishing characteristics of the new Petunia cultivar ‘A-5’. These traits in combination distinguish ‘A-5’ as a new and distinct cultivar apart from other existing varieties of Petunia known to the inventor.
-
- 1. Petunia ‘A-5’ exhibits a large number of white flowers.
- 2. Petunia ‘A-5’ exhibits a short crop time even under short day length conditions.
- 3. Petunia ‘A-5’ exhibits a prostate, spreading habit.
- 4. Petunia ‘A-5’ exhibits good cold temperature tolerance.
- 5. Petunia ‘A-5’ is male sterile and produces no pollen.
The closest comparison cultivar is Petunia ‘Conchita Blossom White’ (not patented).
‘A-5’ is distinguishable from ‘Conchita Blossom White’ by the following characteristics:
-
- 1. ‘A-5’ has smaller flowers.
- 2. ‘A-5’ has smaller leaves.
- 3. ‘A-5’ exhibits a larger number of flowers.
- 4. ‘A-5’ is male sterile and produces no pollen.
‘A-5’ is distinguishable from the female or seed parent AS506 by the following characteristics:
-
- 1. ‘A-5’ has smaller flowers.
- 2. ‘A-5’ has a larger quantity of flowers.
- 3. ‘A-5’ has a larger overall size.
- 4. ‘A-5’ exhibits more vigorous growth.
‘A-5’ is distinguishable from the male or pollen parent 2002W 4-3 by the following characteristics:
-
- 1. ‘A-5’ is male sterile. 2002W 4-3 produces fertile pollen.
- 2. ‘A-5’ has a larger number of flowers.
- 3. ‘A-5’ exhibits more vigorous growth.
The accompanying photograph illustrates the distinguishing traits of Petunia ‘A-5’. The plant in the photograph shows an overall view of 7 month old plants. The photograph was 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.
The following is a detailed description of the new Petunia cultivar named ‘A-5’. Data was collected in Sarno, Italy from 7 month old plastic greenhouse grown plants in 12 cm. diameter containers. The time of year was winter and the temperature range was 15–18 degrees Centigrade during the day and 5–8 degrees Centigrade at night. The light level was natural light. No photoperiodic treatments or growth retardants were used. Color determinations are in accordance with The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart 2007 edition, except where general color terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used. The growing requirements are similar to the species. ‘A-5’ has not been tested under all possible conditions and phenotypic differences may be observed with variations in environmental, climatic, and cultural conditions, however, without any variance in genotype.
