Abstract

A new Lobelia plant named ‘Lobstrahob’ particularly distinguished by the large light violet-blue flowers, medium green foliage, vigorous and well branched habit, early flowering and improved heat tolerance.

Description

Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed: Lobelia erinus.
Varietal denomination: ‘Lobstrahob’.
BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The present invention comprises a new Lobelia, botanically known as Lobelia erinus, and hereinafter referred to by the variety name ‘Lobstrahob’.
‘Lobstrahob’ is a product of a planned breeding program. The new cultivar has large light violet-blue flowers, medium green foliage, vigorous, mounding and semi-trailing and well branched habit with early flowering.
‘Lobstrahob’ originated from a hybridization made in July 2004 in a controlled breeding environment in Enkhuizen, Netherlands. The female parent was the unpatented, proprietary plant designated ‘E1080-3’ with light blue flowers, more vigor, later to flower, and less trailing habit.
The male parent of ‘Lobstrahob’ was an unpatented, proprietary plant designated as ‘D0041-1’ with light blue flowers, less vigor, smaller flower size, and less heat resistance. The resultant seed was sown in February 2005.
‘Lobstrahob’ was selected as one flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross in May 2005 in a controlled environment in Enkhuizen, Netherlands.
The first act of asexual reproduction of ‘Lobstrahob’ was accomplished when vegetative cuttings were propagated from the initial selection in May 2005 in a controlled environment in Enkhuizen, Netherlands.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF INVENTION
Horticultural examination of plants grown from cuttings of the plant initiated in May 2005, and continuing thereafter, has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for ‘Lobstrahob’ are firmly fixed and are retained through successive generations of asexual reproduction.
‘Lobstrahob’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary significantly with variations in environment such as temperature, light intensity and day length.
Plant Breeder's Rights for this cultivar were applied for in Canada on Feb. 9, 2010 (#10-6823) and in CVPO on Sep. 29, 2009 (#2009/1913). ‘Lobstrahob’ has not been made publicly available more than one year prior to the filing of this application.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be basic characteristics of the new variety. The combination of these characteristics distinguishes this Lobelia as a new and distinct variety.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying photographic drawing shows typical flower and foliage characteristics of ‘Lobstrahob’ with colors being as true as possible with an illustration of this type. The photographic drawing shows a flowering potted plant of the new variety and a close-up of a flowers.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The plant descriptions, measurements, and aforementioned photographs were taken in Gilroy, Calif. from plants growing in a greenhouse trial in April 2010. These plants were approximately 13-14 weeks of age.
Color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart (R.H.S.) 2001.
