Abstract
A new and distinct cultivar of Echinacea plant named ‘Jacob Lewis’, characterized by its upright to somewhat outwardly spreading and columnar plant habit; vigorous growth habit; freely branching habit; large single fragrant inflorescences with salmon orange-colored ray florets; strong flowering stems that hold the inflorescences upright; and good garden performance.
Description
Botanical designation: Echinacea purpurea×Echinacea paradoxa.
Cultivar denomination: ‘JACOB LEWIS’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Echinacea plant, botanically known as Echinacea purpurea×Echinacea paradoxa and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Jacob Lewis’.
The new Echinacea plant originated from an open-pollination during the summer of 2003 of two unnamed selections of Echinacea purpurea×Echinacea paradoxa, not patented. The new Echinacea plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated open-pollination grown in a controlled outdoor nursery environment in Dahlonega, Ga. in June, 2004.
Asexual reproduction of the new Echinacea plant by tissue culture in a controlled environment in Alpharetta, Ga. since 2006, has shown that the unique features of this new Echinacea plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
Plants of the new Echinacea have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment 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 ‘Jacob Lewis’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Jacob Lewis’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Echinacea:
-
- 1. Upright to somewhat outwardly spreading and columnar plant habit.
- 2. Vigorous growth habit.
- 3. Freely branching habit.
- 4. Large single fragrant inflorescences with salmon orange-colored ray florets.
- 5. Strong flowering stems that hold the inflorescences upright.
- 6. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Echinacea differ from plants of the parent selections primarily in ray floret color.
Plants of the new Echinacea can be compared to plants of Echinacea purpurea ‘Evan Saul’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 17,659. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Dahlonega, Ga., plants of the new Echinacea differed from plants of ‘Evan Saul’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Echinacea were taller than plants of ‘Evan Saul’.
- 2. Plants of the new Echinacea had larger inflorescences than plants of ‘Evan Saul’.
- 3. Plants of the new Echinacea and ‘Evan Saul’ differed in ray floret color as plants of ‘Evan Saul’ had orange-colored ray florets.
Plants of the new Echinacea can be compared to plants of Echinacea purpurea ‘Katie Saul’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 18,783. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Dahlonega, Ga., plants of the new Echinacea differed from plants of ‘Katie Saul’ in the following characteristics:
-
- 1. Plants of the new Echinacea were taller than plants of ‘Katie Saul’.
- 2. Plants of the new Echinacea had larger inflorescences than plants of ‘Katie Saul’.
- 3. Plants of the new Echinacea and ‘Katie Saul’ differed in ray floret color as plants of ‘Katie Saul’ had salmon pink-colored ray florets.
The accompanying photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Echinacea plant. The photographs show 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 Echinacea plant.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of typical flowering plants of ‘Jacob Lewis’ grown in an outdoor nursery.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of typical inflorescences of ‘Jacob Lewis’.
The aforementioned photographs and following observations and measurements describe plants grown in Alpharetta, Ga. during the summer in an outdoor nursery and under conditions and practices which approximate those generally used in commercial Echinacea production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures averaged 27° C. and night temperatures averaged 18° C. Measurements and numerical values represent averages for typical flowering plants. Plants were one year old when the photographs and 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.
