Abstract

A new and distinct Anemone plant named ‘Pretty Lady Susan’ having a compact growth habit and large deep pink-colored flowers.

Description

Botanical classification: Anemone hupehensis.
Varietal denomination: ‘Pretty Lady Susan’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises a new and distinct cultivar of Anemone plant known by the varietal name ‘Pretty Lady Susan’. The new variety was discovered in August of 2005 in a selected breeding program in Fukushima, Japan. The purpose of the breeding program was to produce a selection of Anemone varieties in a range of flower colors with compact growth habits that are freely flowering. The new variety was selected from a cross of Anemone hupehensis varieties ‘Japonica’ (female parent, unpatented) and ‘Diana’ (male parent, unpatented). The single flowers of the new variety are similar to its parents, but the new variety differs from its parents in increased flower size, improved flower color, a compact growth habit, and increased flower production. Further, ‘Pretty Lady Susan’ has a similar flower color to Anemone hupehensis variety ‘Japonica Splendens’ (unpatented), but differs in flower height and the number of flowers produced. Additionally, ‘Pretty Lady Susan’ has deep pink flowers of uniform color, whereas Anemone hupehensis variety ‘Pretty Lady Diana’ (U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 12/800,741) has bi-colored flowers with deep rose pink and light pink. The new variety was first asexually reproduced in October of 2005 by root cuttings in Fukushima, Japan. The new variety has been trial and field tested and has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics and remain true to type through successive propagations.
The following traits also distinguish ‘Pretty Lady Susan’ as a new and distinct cultivar from other Anemone varieties known to the breeder:
    • 1. Compact growth habit;
    • 2. Flower height;
    • 3. Quantity of flowers produced;
    • 4. Flower size; and
    • 5. Flower color.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The accompanying photographic drawings illustrate the new variety, with the color being as nearly true as is possible with color illustrations of this type:
FIG. 1 is a photograph of the plant; and
FIGS. 2 and 3 are close-up photographs of the flowers of the new variety.
 DESCRIPTION OF THE PLANT
The following detailed description sets forth characteristics of the new cultivar. The data which defines these characteristics was collected after the new variety was grown from plugs propagated via tissue culture at 18 weeks. The plugs were planted directly in 21 cm diameter pots in Hillegom, The Netherlands outside in week 20, 2009. The data was collected in week 38, 2009 under natural daylight. Color references are primarily to The 2001 R.H.S. Colour Chart of The Royal Horticultural Society of London.
