Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Ipomoea plant named ‘Fnpalblk’, characterized by its compact, upright and mounding plant habit; freely branching habit and short internodes, dense and bushy growth habit; and dark purple-colored palmate-shaped leaves.
Description
Botanical designation: Ipomoea batatas.
Cultivar denomination: ‘FNPALBLK’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Ipomoea plant, botanically known as Ipomoea batatas, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Fnpalblk’.
The new Ipomoea plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Lompoc, Calif. The objective of the breeding program is to create new compact and freely branching Ipomoea cultivars with attractive foliage shape and coloration.
The new Ipomoea plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor during the autumn of 2007 of Ipomoea batatas ‘Sweet Caroline Bronze’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 15,437, as the female, or seed, parent with Ipomoea batatas ‘Sweet Caroline Purple’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 14,912, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Ipomoea was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled greenhouse environment in Lompoc, Calif. in March, 2008.
Asexual reproduction of the new Ipomoea plant by terminal cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in Lompoc, Calif. since April, 2008, has shown that the unique features of this new Ipomoea plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the new Ipomoea 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 ‘Fnpalblk’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Fnpalblk’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Ipomoea:
-
- 1. Compact, upright and mounding plant habit.
- 2. Freely branching habit and short internodes, dense and bushy growth habit.
- 3. Dark purple-colored palmate-shaped leaves.
Plants of the new Ipomoea can be compared to plants of the female parent, ‘Sweet Caroline Bronze’. Plants of the new Ipomoea differ from plants of ‘Sweet Caroline Bronze’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Ipomoea are more freely branching than plants of ‘Sweet Caroline Bronze’.
- 2. Plants of the new Ipomoea are bushier and denser than plants of ‘Sweet Caroline Bronze’.
- 3. Plants of the new Ipomoea have dark purple-colored leaves whereas plants of ‘Sweet Caroline Bronze’ have purple bronze to bronze-colored leaves.
Plants of the new Ipomoea can be compared to plants of the male parent, ‘Sweet Caroline Purple’. Plants of the new Ipomoea differ from plants of ‘Sweet Caroline Purple’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Ipomoea are more freely branching than plants of ‘Sweet Caroline Purple’.
- 2. Plants of the new Ipomoea are bushier and denser than plants of ‘Sweet Caroline Purple’.
Plants of the new Ipomoea can be compared to plants of the Ipomoea batatas ‘Blackie’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Lompoc, Calif., plants of the new Ipomoea differed from plants of ‘Blackie’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Ipomoea were more compact than plants of ‘Blackie’.
- 2. Plants of the new Ipomoea were more freely branching than plants of ‘Blackie’.
- 3. Plants of the new Ipomoea were bushier and denser than plants of ‘Blackie’.
Plants of the new Ipomoea can also be compared to plants of the Ipomoea batatas ‘Sweet Caroline Red’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 17,483. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Lompoc, Calif., plants of the new Ipomoea differed from plants of ‘Sweet Caroline Red’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Ipomoea were more freely branching than plants of ‘Sweet Caroline Red’.
- 2. Plants of the new Ipomoea were bushier and denser than plants of ‘Sweet Caroline Red’.
- 3. Plants of the new Ipomoea had dark purple-colored leaves whereas plants of ‘Sweet Caroline Red’ had red-colored leaves.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Ipomoea plant, showing 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 Ipomoea plant.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of typical plants of ‘Fnpalblk’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a close-up view of typical leaves of ‘Fnpalblk’.
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in Lompoc, Calif. in a polyethylene-covered greenhouse during the summer and under conditions which closely approximate commercial Ipomoea production. During the production of the plants, average day temperatures were 22° C. and average night temperatures were 17° C. Plants were grown in 15-cm containers and were six weeks old when the photographs and description were taken. In the detailed description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2007 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
