Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Malva plant named ‘Poetry’, characterized by its upright and relatively compact plant habit; moderately vigorous growth habit; bright red purple-colored flowers; and good garden performance.

Description

Botanical designation: Malva sylvestris.
Cultivar denomination: ‘POETRY’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Malva plant, botanically known as Malva sylvestris and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Poetry’.
The new Malva plant is a naturally-occurring branch plant mutation of Malva sylvestris ‘Park Rondell’, not patented. The new Malva plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor on a single plant of ‘Park Rondell’ from within a population of plants of ‘Park Rondell’ in a controlled environment in Hummelo, The Netherlands.
Asexual reproduction of the new Malva plant by softwood cuttings in a controlled environment in Hummelo, The Netherlands since the summer of 2006 has shown that the unique features of this new Malva plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Malva have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions and cultural practices. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environmental conditions 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 ‘Poetry’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Poetry’ as a new and distinct Malva plant:
    • 1. Upright and relatively compact plant habit.
    • 2. Moderately vigorous growth habit.
    • 3. Bright red purple-colored flowers.
    • 4. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Malva differ primarily from plants of the parent, ‘Park Rondell’ in flower color as plants of ‘Park Rondell’ have dark pinkish red-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Malva can be compared to plants of Malva sylvestris ‘Freedom’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons, plants of the new Malva differ primarily from plants of ‘Freedom’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Malva are more compact than plants of ‘Freedom’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Malva and ‘Freedom’ differ in flower color as plants of ‘Freedom’ have light salmon-colored flowers.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Malva 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 Malva plant.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Poetry’ grown in an outdoor nursery.
The photograph at the top of the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical flower of ‘Poetry’.
The photograph at the bottom of the second sheet is a close-up view of the upper surface of a typical leaf of ‘Poetry’.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown during the autumn in an outdoor nursery in Hillegom, The Netherlands and under typical production conditions. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 12° C. to 26° C. and night temperatures ranged from 4° C. to 18° C. Plants were one year old when the photographs and the description were taken. In the detailed description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 2007 Edition, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
