Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Lobelia plant named ‘USLOB0901’, characterized by its compact, upright to outwardly spreading plant habit; freely branching habit; continuously and freely flowering habit; dark blue-colored flowers; and relatively high temperature tolerant.

Description

Botanical designation: Lobelia hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘USLOB0901’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Lobelia plant, botanically known as Lobelia hybrida and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘USLOB0901’.
The new Lobelia plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan. The objective of the breeding program is to create new uniform Lobelia cultivars with good vigor, attractive and stable flower coloration and tolerance to high temperatures.
The new Lobelia plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor on Sep. 26, 2005 of Lobelia hybrida ‘Hot Water Blue’, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with Lobelia hybrida ‘Dark Blue Angel’, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Lobelia plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant with the progeny of the stated cross-pollination grown in a controlled greenhouse environment in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan on Aug. 28, 2006.
Asexual reproduction of the Lobelia plant by vegetative cuttings in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan since Sep. 2, 2006, has shown that the unique features of this new Lobelia plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Lobelia have not 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 ‘USLOB0901’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘USLOB0901’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Lobelia:
    • 1. Compact, upright to outwardly spreading plant habit.
    • 2. Freely branching habit.
    • 3. Continuously and freely flowering habit.
    • 4. Dark blue-colored flowers.
    • 5. Relatively high temperature tolerant.
Plants of the new Lobelia differ from plants of the female parent, ‘Hot Water Blue’, in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Lobelia are more compact than and not as open as plants of ‘Hot Water Blue’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Lobelia have darker blue-colored flowers than plants of ‘Hot Water Blue’.
Plants of the new Lobelia differ from plants of the male parent, ‘Dark Blue Angel’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Lobelia have more mounding habit than plants of ‘Dark Blue Angel’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Lobelia and ‘Dark Blue Angel’ differ in flower color as plants of ‘Dark Blue Angel’ have purple-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Lobelia can be compared to plants of Lobelia ‘Regatta Sapphire’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Bonsall, Calif., plants of the new Lobelia differed from plants of ‘Regatta Sapphire’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Lobelia were more compact than and not as open as plants of ‘Regatta Sapphire’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Lobelia had darker blue-colored flowers than plants of ‘Regatta Sapphire’.
    • 3. Plants of the new Lobelia were more high temperature-tolerant than plants of ‘Regatta Sapphire’.
Plants of the new Lobelia can also be compared to plants of Lobelia ‘Fountain Blue’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Bonsall, Calif., plants of the new Lobelia differed from plants of ‘Fountain Blue’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Lobelia were more freely branching than plants of ‘Fountain Blue’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Lobelia were more high temperature-tolerant than plants of ‘Fountain Blue’.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Lobelia 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 actual colors of the new Lobelia plant.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘USLOB0901’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the top of the sheet is a close-up view of typical flowers of ‘USLOB0901’.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
Plants used for the aforementioned photographs and following description were grown under conditions which closely approximate commercial production conditions during the autumn in 12.5-cm containers in an outdoor nursery in Bonsall, Calif. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 18° C. to 38° C., night temperatures ranged from 9° C. to 18° C. and light levels ranged from 7,000 to 10,000 foot-candles. Plants were pinched one time and were seven weeks old when the photographs and description were taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2007 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
