Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Hibiscus plant named ‘Sparkle’, characterized by its upright, somewhat, outwardly spreading and dense and bushy plant habit; dark green-colored leaves; freely flowering habit; large white-colored flowers with red purple-colored centers and venation; and good flower longevity.
Description
Botanical designation: Hibiscus moscheutos.
Cultivar denomination: ‘SPARKLE’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Hibiscus plant, botanically known as Hibiscus moscheutos, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Sparkle’.
The new Hibiscus plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in De Kwakel, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program is to create new compact Hibiscus plants with attractive and large flowers.
The new Hibiscus plant originated from a self-pollination in August, 2007 in De Kwakel, The Netherlands of Hibiscus moscheutos ‘Mauvelous’, not patented. The new Hibiscus plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a flowering plant within the progeny of the stated self-pollination in a controlled greenhouse environment in De Kwakel, The Netherlands in July, 2008.
Asexual reproduction of the new Hibiscus plant by vegetative terminal cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in De Kwakel, The Netherlands since May, 2009, has shown that the unique features of this new Hibiscus plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the new Hibiscus 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 ‘Sparkle’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Sparkle’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Hibiscus:
-
- 1. Upright, somewhat, outwardly spreading and dense and bushy plant habit.
- 2. Dark green-colored leaves.
- 3. Freely flowering habit.
- 4. Large white-colored flowers with red purple-colored centers and venation.
- 5. Good flower longevity.
Plants of the new Hibiscus can be compared to plants of the parent, ‘Mauvelous’. Plants of the new Hibiscus differ primarily from plants of ‘Mauvelous’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Hibiscus have slightly lighter green-colored leaves than plants of ‘Mauvelous’.
- 2. Flowers of plants of the new Hibiscus and ‘Mauvelous’ differ in color as plants of ‘Mauvelous’ have pink-colored flowers.
- 3. Plants of the new Hibiscus have white-colored flower styles whereas plants of ‘Mauvelous’ have pale pink-colored flower styles.
Plants of the new Hibiscus can also be compared to plants of the Hibiscus hybrida ‘Oak Red’, filed concurrently in a U.S. Plant patent application. Plants of the new Hibiscus differ primarily from plants of ‘Oak Red’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Hibiscus are more upright than plants of ‘Oak Red’.
- 2. Plants of the new Hibiscus have ovate-shaped leaves whereas plants of ‘Oak Red’ have oakleaf-shaped leaves.
- 3. Flowers of plants of the new Hibiscus and ‘Oak Red’ differ in color as plants of ‘Oak Red’ have red-colored flowers.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Hibiscus 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 Hibiscus plant.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of typical flowering plants of ‘Sparkle’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical flower of ‘Sparkle’.
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in De Kwakel, The Netherlands in five-liter containers in a glass-covered greenhouses during the summer under conditions which closely approximate commercial Hibiscus production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 18° C. to 33° C. and night temperatures ranged from 15° C. to 25° C. Plants were 16 weeks old when the photographs and the description were taken. In the description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2007 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
