Abstract

A new and distinct Sutera cultivar named ‘DANCOP28’ is disclosed, characterized by having a compact, semi-trailing growth habit, and a very well branched, ball-shaped plant. The new variety has very large flowers, with thick petals. Flower color is light blue. The new variety is a Sutera, normally produced as an outdoor garden or container plant.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species: Sutera cordata.
Variety denomination: ‘DANCOP28’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The new Sutera cultivar is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the inventor, Gabriel Danziger, in Moshav Mishmar Hashiva, Israel. The objective of the breeding program was to produce new varieties of Sutera for commercial introduction. The seed parent is the unpatented, proprietary seedling variety referred to as Sutera cordata ‘CV 04-68.’ The pollen parent is an unknown Sutera cordata, as the new variety is the result of an open pollination in which the male parent cannot be identified. The open pollination occurred in November 2006.
The new variety was discovered in June 2007 by the inventor in a group of seedlings resulting from that crossing, in a commercial greenhouse in Moshav Mishmar Hashiva, Israel. Asexual reproduction of the new cultivar ‘DANCOP28’ by vegetative cuttings was first performed at a commercial greenhouse in Moshav Mishmar Hashiva, Israel in July 2007. Subsequent propagation has shown that the unique features of this cultivar are stable and reproduced true to type on successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The cultivar ‘DANCOP28’ 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 ‘DANCOP28’ These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘DANCOP28’ as a new and distinct Sutera cultivar:
    • 1. Compact, semi-trailing growth habit.
    • 2. Very branched, ball-shaped plant.
    • 3. Extra-large flowers with thick petals.
    • 4. Light blue flower color.
    • 5. Medium vigor.
Parental Comparison
Plants of the new cultivar ‘DANCOP28’ are similar to plants of the seed parent, Sutera cordata ‘CV-04-68’ in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new cultivar ‘DANCOP28’ have a different color flower.
Commercial Comparison
Plants of the new cultivar ‘DANCOP28’ can be compared to the commercial variety ‘DANCOP24,’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 19,343. Plants of ‘DANCOP28’ are similar to plants of ‘DANCOP24’ in most horticultural characteristics, however, plants of the new variety are semi-trailing compared to trailing, causing the new cultivar to form a round plant shape, compared to an elongated plant shape. Additionally, plants of the new variety have thicker petals than ‘DANCOP24’ and plants of the new variety are less vigorous than plants of ‘DANCOP24’.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
The accompanying photograph in FIG. 1 illustrates in full color a typical plant of ‘DANCOP28’ grown in a greenhouse, in a 16 cm basket. Age of the plant photographed is approximately 3 months from a rooted cutting.
FIG. 2 illustrates in full color a close up of a typical bloom of ‘DANCOP28.’ 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.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
