Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Gerbera plant named ‘Garlisa’, characterized by its compact, upright and uniformly mounding plant habit; freely flowering habit; red purple-colored ray florets; upright and strong scapes; and good garden performance.

Description

Botanical designation: Gerbera hybrida.
Cultivar denomination: ‘GARLISA’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Gerbera plant, botanically known as Gerbera hybrida and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Garlisa’.
The new Gerbera plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in De Kwakel, The Netherlands. The objective of the breeding program is to create new compact container Gerbera plants with numerous inflorescences, good garden performance, frost tolerance and attractive inflorescence coloration.
The new Gerbera plant originated from a cross-pollination in March, 2006 in De Kwakel, The Netherlands of a proprietary selection of Gerbera hybrida identified as code number B 1064, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Gerbera hybrida identified as code number B 1274, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Gerbera plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled greenhouse environment in De Kwakel, The Netherlands during the spring of 2007.
Asexual reproduction of the new Gerbera plant by tissue culture in a controlled environment in De Kwakel, The Netherlands since the spring of 2007 has shown that the unique features of this new Gerbera plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Gerbera have not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in cultural practices and 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 ‘Garlisa’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Garlisa’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Gerbera plant:
    • 1. Compact, upright and uniformly mounding plant habit.
    • 2. Freely flowering habit.
    • 3. Red purple-colored ray florets.
    • 4. Upright and strong scapes.
    • 5. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Gerbera differ from plants of the female parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Gerbera have smaller leaves than plants of the female parent selection.
    • 2. Plants of the new Gerbera are more freely flowering than plants of the female parent selection.
    • 3. Plants of the new Gerbera have lighter red purple-colored ray florets than plants of the female parent selection.
Plants of the new Gerbera differ from plants of the male parent selection in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Gerbera have larger leaves than plants of the male parent selection.
    • 2. Plants of the new Gerbera have smaller inflorescences than plants of the male parent selection.
    • 3. Plants of the new Gerbera have shorter peduncles than plants of the male parent selection.
    • 4. Plants of the new Gerbera have lighter red-colored ray florets than plants of the male parent selection.
Plants of the new Gerbera can be compared to plants of the Gerbera hybrida ‘Fleurie’, disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 22,343. Plants of the new Gerbera differ from plants of ‘Fleurie’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Gerbera have slightly larger inflorescences than plants of ‘Fleurie’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Gerbera and ‘Fleurie’ differ in ray and disc floret color as plants of ‘Fleurie’ have dark red-colored ray florets and light red-colored disc florets.
Plants of the new Gerbera can also be compared to plants of the Gerbera hybrida ‘Amgerbpink’, not patented. Plants of the new Gerbera differ from plants of ‘Amgerbpink’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Gerbera are more freely flowering than plants of ‘Amgerbpink’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Gerbera have larger inflorescences than plants of ‘Amgerbpink’.
    • 3. Plants of the new Gerbera and ‘Amgerbpink’ differ in ray floret color as plants of ‘Amgerbpink’ have soft pink-colored ray florets.
Plants of the new Gerbera can also be compared to plants of the Gerbera jamesonii ‘Lisa’, not patented. Plants of the new Gerbera differ from plants of ‘Lisa’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Gerbera are more compact and more uniform than plants of ‘Lisa’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Gerbera are suitable for container and garden cultivation whereas plants of ‘Lisa’ are suitable for cut flower cultivation.
    • 3. Plants of the new Gerbera and ‘Lisa’ differ in ray floret color.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPH
The accompanying photograph illustrates the overall appearance of the new Gerbera plant. The photograph shows the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photograph may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Gerbera plant.
The photograph comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Garlisa’ grown in a container.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photograph and following observations and measurements describe plants grown during the winter in 19-cm containers in a glass-covered greenhouse in De Kwakel, The Netherlands and under cultural practices and environmental conditions which approximate those generally used in commercial container Gerbera production. During the production of the plants, day temperatures ranged from 16° C. to 24° C. and night temperatures ranged from 16° C. to 20° C. Rooted young tissue-cultured plants were four months old when the photograph was taken and eight months old when the description was taken. In the following description, color references are made to The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, Fifth Edition, 2007, except where general terms of ordinary dictionary significance are used.
