Abstract
A new and distinct Echinacea plant named ‘Little Angel’ characterized by numerous white, medium-small inflorescences, a well branched, compact, dwarf habit, and excellent vigor.
Description
Botanical denomination: Echinacea purpurea.
Variety designation: ‘Little Angel’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Echinacea purpurea and given the cultivar name ‘Little Angel’. Echinacea is in the family Asteraceae. This new cultivar originated from a planned breeding project for a dwarf white flowering plant using proprietary, unnamed Echinacea. The closest comparisons on the market are Echinacea ‘Pow Wow White’ or ‘White Swan’, both unpatented plants. Compared to these cultivars, the new cultivar is much more compact.
This new Echinacea purpurea cultivar is distinguished by:
-
- 1. numerous white, medium-small flowers,
- 2. well branched, compact, dwarf habit,
- 3. excellent vigor.
This new cultivar has been reproduced only by asexual propagation (division and tissue culture). Each of the progeny exhibits identical characteristics to the original plant. Asexual propagation by division and tissue culture using standard micropropagation techniques with terminal and lateral shoots, as done in Canby, Oreg., shows that the foregoing characteristics and distinctions come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations. The present invention has not been evaluated under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary with variations in environment without a change in the genotype of the plant.
The photograph shows the whole plant of a two year old Echinacea purpurea ‘Little Angel’ growing in the ground in the trial field in the summer in Canby, Oreg.
The following is a detailed description of the new Echinacea cultivar based on observations of 18-month old specimens growing in the ground in the field in full sun in the trial bed under typical outdoor conditions in Canby, Oreg. The plants had been moved from one trial field to another the fall before. Canby is in Zone 8 on the USDA Hardiness map Temperatures range from a high of 95 degrees F. in August to an average of 32 degrees F. in January. Normal rainfall in Canby is 42.8 inches per year in the trial fields in Canby, Oreg. The color descriptions are all based on The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, fifth edition.
