Abstract
A new and distinct Echinacea plant named ‘Coral Reef’ characterized by medium large, dark orange to coral ray florets, enlarged coral red disc florets forming an anemone-type inflorescence, well-branched flower stalks, and excellent vigor.
Description
Botanical denomination: Echinacea spp.
Variety designation: ‘Coral Reef’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Echinacea and given the cultivar name ‘Coral Reef’. Echinacea is in the family Asteraceae. This new cultivar originated from a planned breeding program using Echinacea purpurea ‘Razzmatazz’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,894) as the seed parent and unnamed proprietary, unreleased plant from a third generation hybrid of Echinacea (paradoxa×purpurea ‘Ruby Giant’), for the pollen parent. The exact pollen parent of this selection is unknown.
Compared to Echinacea purpurea ‘Razzmatazz’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 13,894), the seed parent, the new variety has orange to coral rather than dark pink flowers.
Compared to the pollen parent, Echinacea (paradoxa×purpurea ‘Ruby Giant’), the new variety has coral rather than rose pink flowers and anemone-type inflorescence rather the “single” type with normal disc florets.
Compared to Echinacea ‘Hot Papaya’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 21,022), the new variety has larger flowers, ray florets that don't strongly reflex, and different overall orange coral color.
This new Echinacea cultivar is distinguished by:
-
- 1. large, dark orange to coral ray florets
- 2. enlarged coral red disc florets forming an anemone-type, semi-double inflorescence
- 3. well-branched flower stalks; and
- 4. 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 following is a detailed description of the new Echinacea cultivar based on observations of a 9-months-old specimen growing in the ground in the field in full sun under typical outdoor conditions in Canby, Oreg. 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.
