Abstract
A new and distinct Echinacea plant named ‘Now Cheesier’ characterized by large yellow orange inflorescences, a medium habit with good branching, strong stems, and excellent vigor.
Description
Botanical denomination: Echinacea spp.
Variety designation: ‘Now Cheesier’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Echinacea and given the cultivar name ‘Now Cheesier’. Echinacea is in the family Asteraceae. This new cultivar is a third generation seeding originating from a planned breeding program using Echinacea paradoxa (an unpatented plant) as the seed parent in the original cross and Echinacea purpurea ‘Ruby Giant’ (an unpatented plant) as the pollen parent. The exact parents of this selection are unknown, unnamed, proprietary plants.
Compared to Echinacea ‘Mac ‘n’ Cheese’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 19,464), the most similar plant on the market, the new variety is more vigorous, has more crowns, and has larger inflorescences.
Compared to Echinacea Harvest Moon™ (‘Matthew Saul’ U.S. Plant Pat. No. 17,652), the new variety has longer and wider ray florets.
This new Echinacea cultivar is distinguished by:
-
- 1. large yellow orange inflorescences,
- 2. a medium habit with good branching,
- 3. strong stems, and
- 4. excellent vigor.
This new cultivar has been reproduced only by asexual propagation (division and tissue culture). Each of the progeny exhibits identical characteristics to the original plant. Asexual propagation by division and tissue culture using standard micropropagation techniques with terminal and lateral shoots, as done in Canby, Oreg., shows that the foregoing characteristics and distinctions come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations. The present invention has not been evaluated under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary with variations in environment without a change in the genotype of the plant.
The photograph shows the inflorescences of Echinacea ‘Now Cheesier’ on a one-year-old plant growing in the field in full sun in early July in Canby, Oreg.
The following is a detailed description of the new Echinacea cultivar based on observations of 18-month-old specimens growing in the garden in full sun in Canby, Oreg. Canby is in Zone 8 on the USDA Hardiness map. Temperatures range from a high of 95 degrees F. in August to an average of 32 degrees F. in January. Normal rainfall in Canby is 42.8 inches per year in the trial fields in Canby, Oreg. The color descriptions are all based on The Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, 5th edition.
