Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Campanula plant named ‘Freya’, characterized by its upright plant habit; freely basal branching habit; freely flowering habit; and dark violet-colored campanulate-shaped flowers.

Description

Botanical designation: Campanula glomerata.
Cultivar denomination: ‘FREYA’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Campanula plant, botanically known as Campanula glomerata and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Freya’.
The new Campanula is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in IJsselstein, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program is to create new compact and freely flowering Campanula plants with attractive flower color.
The new Campanula plant originated from an open-pollination in IJsselstein, The Netherlands in May, 2004, of a proprietary selection of Campanula glomerata identified as code number Ca 406-02, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with an unknown selection of Campanula glomerata as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Campanula 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 greenhouse environment in Zuidwolde, The Netherlands in June, 2008.
Asexual reproduction of the new Campanula plant by tissue culture in The Netherlands, since October, 2008, has shown that the unique features of this new Campanula plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Campanula 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 ‘Freya’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Freya’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
    • 1. Upright plant habit.
    • 2. Freely basal branching habit.
    • 3. Freely flowering habit.
    • 4. Dark violet-colored campanulate-shaped flowers.
Plants of the new Campanula differ from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Campanula are more compact than plants of the female parent selection.
    • 2. Plants of the new Campanula have stronger stems than plants of the female parent selection.
    • 3. Plants of the new Campanula are more freely flowering than plants of the female parent selection.
Plants of the new Campanula can be compared to plants of Campanula ‘Acaulis’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in IJsselstein, The Netherlands, plants of the new Campanula differed from plants of ‘Acaulis’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Campanula were more compact than plants of ‘Acaulis’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Campanula were more freely basal branching than plants of ‘Acaulis’.
    • 3. Plants of the new Campanula had smaller flowers than plants of ‘Acaulis’.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Campanula 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 actual colors of the new Campanula plant.
The photograph on the first sheet is a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Freya’ grown in a container.
The photograph on the second sheet is a close-up view of a typical leaf of ‘Freya’.
The photograph on the third sheet is a close-up view of a typical inflorescence of ‘Freya’.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
Plants used for the aforementioned photographs and following description were grown under conditions which closely approximate commercial production conditions during the spring and early summer in 13-cm containers (photographs) and ground beds (description) in an outdoor nursery in Zuidwolde, The Netherlands. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 15° C. to 30° C. and night temperatures ranged from 6° C. to 18° C. Plants were two years 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.
