Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Malcolmia plant named ‘Sunmalconpi’, characterized by its upright and mounding plant habit; vigorous growth habit; freely branching and flowering plant habit; uniform and long flowering period; dark pink-colored flowers; and good garden performance.
Description
Botanical designation: Malcolmia maritima.
Cultivar denomination: ‘SUNMALCONPI’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Malcolmia plant, botanically known as Malcolmia maritima and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Sunmalconpi’.
The new Malcolmia 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 develop new upright and mounding Malcolmia plants with long flowering time, winter hardiness, and attractive and uniform flower coloration.
The new Malcolmia plant originated from a cross-pollination conducted by the Inventor in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan in April, 2005 of a proprietary selection of Malcolmia maritima identified as code number 4Mal-2e, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Malcolmia maritima identified as code number 4Mal-2c, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Malcolmia plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled greenhouse environment in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan in November, 2005.
Asexual reproduction of the new Malcolmia plant by vegetative cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan since December, 2005, has shown that the unique features of this new Malcolmia plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the new Malcolmia 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 ‘Sunmalconpi’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Sunmalconpi’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Malcolmia plant:
-
- 1. Upright and mounding plant habit.
- 2. Vigorous growth habit.
- 3. Freely branching and flowering plant habit.
- 4. Uniform and long flowering period.
- 5. Dark pink-colored flowers.
- 6. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Malcolmia can be compared to plants of the parent selections. Plants of the new Malcolmia differ primarily from plants of the parent selections in plant size as plants of the new Malcolmia are smaller than plants of the parent selections.
Plants of the new Malcolmia can also be compared to plants of Malcolmia maritima ‘Sunmalpin’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 21,619. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan, plants of the new Malcolmia and ‘Sunmalpin’ differed primarily in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Malcolmia were smaller than plants of ‘Sunmalpin’.
- 2. Plants of the new Malcolmia were more freely flowering than plants of ‘Sunmalpin’.
- 3. Plants of the new Malcolmia had darker pink-colored flowers than plants of ‘Sunmalpin’.
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Malcolmia 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 Malcolmia plant.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Sunmalconpi’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet is a close-up view of typical flowers of ‘Sunmalconpi’.
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown in 15-cm containers in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan, under commercial practice during the autumn and winter in a polyethylene-covered greenhouse. During the production of the plants, day temperatures averaged 10° C. and night temperatures averaged 5° C. Plants were four months old when the photographs were taken and were five months old when the 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.
