Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Lobelia plant named ‘USLOB13’, characterized by its upright to outwardly spreading, semi-mounding plant habit; vigorous growth habit; freely branching habit; continuously and freely flowering habit; violet-colored flowers; and relatively high temperature tolerant.
Description
Botanical designation: Lobelia hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘USLOB13’.
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 ‘USLOB13’.
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 flower coloration and tolerance to high temperatures.
The new Lobelia plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor on Jun. 17, 2006 of Lobelia hybrida ‘Hot White’, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary seedling selection of Lobelia hybrida identified as code number 06LOBJ-03, 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 May 15, 2007.
Asexual reproduction of the Lobelia plant by vegetative cuttings in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan since May 16, 2007, has shown that the unique features of this new Lobelia plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
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 ‘USLOB13’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘USLOB13’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Lobelia:
-
- 1. Upright to outwardly spreading, semi-mounding plant habit.
- 2. Vigorous growth habit.
- 3. Freely branching habit.
- 4. Continuously and freely flowering habit.
- 5. Violet-colored flowers.
- 6. Relatively high temperature tolerant.
Plants of the new Lobelia differ from plants of the female parent, ‘Hot White’, in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Lobelia are more compact than and not as open as plants of ‘Hot White’.
- 2. Plants of the new Lobelia and ‘Hot White’ differ in flower color as plants of ‘Hot White’ have white-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Lobelia differ from plants of the male parent selection primarily in flowers color as plants of the male parent selection have blue-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Lobelia can be compared to plants of Lobelia ‘Regatta Lilac’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Bonsall, Calif., plants of the new Lobelia differed from plants of ‘Regatta Lilac’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Lobelia were more mounding than and not as open as plants of ‘Regatta Lilac’.
- 2. Plants of the new Lobelia and ‘Regatta Lilac’ differed in flower color as plants of ‘Regatta Lilac’ had lilac-colored flowers.
- 3. Plants of the new Lobelia were more high temperature-tolerant than plants of ‘Regatta Lilac’.
Plants of the new Lobelia can also be compared to plants of Lobelia ‘Riviera Lilac’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Bonsall, Calif., plants of the new Lobelia differed from plants of ‘Riviera Lilac’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Lobelia were more mounding than and not as compact as plants of ‘Riviera Lilac’.
- 2. Plants of the new Lobelia were more freely branching than plants of ‘Riviera Lilac’.
- 3. Plants of the new Lobelia were more high temperature-tolerant than plants of ‘Riviera Lilac’.
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 ‘USLOB13’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the top of the sheet is a close-up view of typical flowers and leaves of ‘USLOB13’.
Plants used for the aforementioned photographs and following description were grown under conditions which closely approximate commercial production conditions during the autumn in 10-cm containers in a polyethylene-covered greenhouse in Bonsall, Calif. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 18° C. to 38° C., night temperatures average 18° C. and light levels ranged from 7,000 to 10,000 foot-candles. Plants were two months 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.
