Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Nemesia plant named ‘Sunjonpiho’, characterized by its upright and mounded growth habit; freely branching habit; freely flowering habit; long flowering period; purple violet, red purple and white-colored flowers; and good garden performance.

Description

Botanical designation: Nemesia denticulata×Nemesia caerulea.
Cultivar denomination: ‘SUNJONPIHO’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Nemesia plant, botanically known as Nemesia denticulata×Nemesia caerulea and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Sunjonpiho’.
The new Nemesia plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in St. Brides Netherwent, Monmouthshire, Wales. The objective of the breeding program is to create new mounding and freely-branching Nemesia plants with unique and attractive flower coloration.
The new Nemesia plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in June, 2007 in St. Brides Netherwent, Monmouthshire, Wales of a proprietary selection of Nemesia denticulata×Nemesia caerulea identified as code number 7NDZP, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Nemesia denticulata×Nemesia caerulea identified as code number 7NDZK, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Nemesia 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 St. Brides Netherwent, Monmouthshire, Wales in April, 2008.
Asexual reproduction of the new Nemesia plant by vegetative cuttings in a controlled environment in St. Brides Netherwent, Monmouthshire, Wales since May, 2008, has shown that the unique features of this new Nemesia plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Plants of the new Nemesia 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 ‘Sunjonpiho’. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘Sunjonpiho’ as a new and distinct cultivar of Nemesia plant:
    • 1. Upright and mounded growth habit.
    • 2. Freely branching habit.
    • 3. Freely flowering habit.
    • 4. Long flowering period.
    • 5. Purple violet, red purple and white-colored flowers.
    • 6. Good garden performance.
Plants of the new Nemesia can be compared to plants of the female parent selection. Plants of the new Nemesia differ primarily from plants of the female parent selection in flower color as plants of the female parent selection have pink and white-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Nemesia can be compared to plants of the male paren selection. Plants of the new Nemesia differ primarily from plants of the male parent selection in flower color as plants of the male parent selection have dark pink and orange-colored flowers.
Plants of the new Nemesia can also be compared to plants of ‘Mellow Rose White’, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted by the Inventor in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan, plants of the new Nemesia differed from plants of ‘Mellow Rose White’ in the following characteristics:
    • 1. Plants of the new Nemesia were shorter than plants of ‘Mellow Rose White’.
    • 2. Plants of the new Nemesia had longer leaves than plants of ‘Mellow Rose White’.
    • 3. Flowers of plants of the new Nemesia were not fragrant whereas flowers of plants of ‘Mellow Rose White’ were fragrant.
    • 4. Plants of the new Nemesia and ‘Mellow Rose White’ differed in flower color as plants of ‘Mellow Rose White’ had pink to light pink-colored flowers.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Nemesia 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 Nemesia plant.
The photograph at the top of the sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of ‘Sunjonpiho’ grown in a container.
The photograph at the bottom of the sheet is a close-up view of typical flowers of ‘Sunjonpiho’.
 DETAILED BOTANICAL DESCRIPTION
The aforementioned photographs and following observations, measurements and values describe plants grown during the winter in 15-cm containers in a glass-covered greenhouse in Higashiomi, Shiga, Japan and under commercial practice. During the production of the plants, day temperatures averaged 15° C. and night temperatures averaged 5° C. Plants were four months 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.
